I struggle to imagine what Jamaica must have been like in those days, before it was liberated from the evil of British colonialism, and the locals could build the towering "indigenous" civilization they had always dreamt of.
I think it's important to understand the mindset of the communist - the Marxist. All standards are "oppressive." To call something "beautiful" is to call something else "ugly." To acknowledge success is to call someone else a failure. Nobody can be smart, because that means someone else is stupid. That is the root of DEI and the "uglification" of the world by the political Left. Marxism is about destroying the past and replacing it with a new Revolutionary future; and since the past was beautiful, this new world must be ugly.
It was the one that got Fleming the most mad because it was nearby, which is why I included it, but as Fleming was writing more of his brutalist work was being built, like the tower in the article

It must have been very pleasant
Having been there recently, I'd say the locals were probably better off, despite their protests.

The example in the pic is more Bauhaus than brutalist; some of his other work is clearly Brutalist.
