This is what I mean when I say I like 1950s aesthetics. Well, that and the Cold War. Not that I miss Western views of communists being even worse than present day, but, I do miss “The Commies” having some power and cultural impact.
Western liberals say communist propaganda plastered everywhere in socialist states is dystopian, but I’d massively prefer it over the advertising plastered everywhere in Western capitalist countries. Or better yet, don’t cover every square inch of available space with a poster or banner or billboard.

Commie propaganda plastered everywhere: A mural of a woman scientist with a slogan like “equal opportunities for all.”
Capitalist advertising everywhere: A giant billboard of a woman in a bikini drinking a coke, “the thirst quencher”
This, for sure. At least the commie posters aren’t blatantly sexist, and often advocate for the equality of the systematically oppressed.
