Dear Juan,
I also like the 'Ozymandias' aspect of decay: 'Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.' What makes me laugh is that many 'archivally processed record shots' won't last anything like as long as the decaying subjects they portray -- which may already have been around for centuries or millennia, and should be good for a while yet.
Unlike (I suspect) communism. I'd be surprised if it makes its 200th birthday (dating from Marx's manifesto). Even so, communist iconography (like Nazi iconography) can be visually magnificent, as long as you can divorce it from its ideology.
Cheers,
R.
