This is very well thought out! I don't think there is a poster on each floor, I think there is only one huge poster visible on all of the floors in the building. The poster is described as being "too large for indoor display". Which describes how the government will go to extensive measures to enforce their foul totalitarian ways. Also this shows how the government and the people are dysfunctional. The government put a huge poster that should be outside on the inside of the building.

¡I like your ideas! Do you think that the people are more interested in keeping up the poster or could it be that the government is only willing to support their own cause? I think the government is putting its ideals before the citizens. Lousy totalitarians.

I like your connection with the broken lift and the unfulfilled promises. Im am confused at how the government can watch you and not tend to you at the same time. How does this result in the government waiting for you to do something? Also how is the government doing an experiment by letting the Victory Mansions become run down? I think the run down Victory Mansions demonstrate the priority levels of the government. Their main goal is to keep the poster (their unquestionable authority) in the victory mansion in top condition and to give to the people bare minimum necessities to survive. This keeps the balance of power the way the government wants it.
