Having grown up in USSR, I’m pretty sure that I do in fact have a conception of what Soviet art looks like. Obviously socialist art encompasses more than simply glorification of labour. The point I’m making is that labour is an essential part of socialist art. The critique of solar-punk as an ideological and political project isn’t regarding what it depicts but rather what it omits.
