I don't know if I should be disappointed by the pretty philistine reactions here. In the MDM in Warsaw I find so satisfying the fact that monumental reliefs show office and factory workers, mothers etc. instead of political leaders or so-called great people. I'm well aware that this is Stalinist 1950s architecture but to some extent you can enjoy art in abstraction from its historical context. I would likely agree that overt references to communism should be visibly contextualized or closed in a museum.
Monumental, uncompromising modernism to me expresses the desire to boldly go, as a civilization, and conquer nature both inside and outside of us. Today this desire is very controversial for pretty much all mainstream sensibilities - but I don't think we should rob the future generations of a chance to interact with this on their own.
