abstract = {Workers’ hostels have been a relatively understudied area of the social history of the 1970s. In this chapter – apart from presenting two case studies, one in the GDR and the other one in Hungary – I argue that the contemporary literature produced in connection with the social rights (or rather, the lack of social rights, as many workers, who had to spend years in these “temporary” accommodation, experienced) can offer an insight into the decline of trust in the so-called “welfare dictatorships” and the crisis of their legitimacy. I call these regimes welfare dictatorships because they were based on the recognition that the dictatorship of the proletariat could not change either human needs or the ways of satisfying these needs. Thus, the decline of state socialism – from the perspective of labor – started well before the actual collapse of these regimes when even low-level functionaries formulated – at least in Hungary – a strong criticism of a socialism, which could not afford to provide workers with minimal levels of housing comfort (Housing was provided, but comfort was not). I argue that this slow erosion of legitimacy went hand in hand with the economic weakening of the state socialist regimes.},
