Besides 💰and 👁️ *

Why doesn’t the left do a propaganda like the Barbie movie or those two White-Supremist country songs?

Imagine Barbie but with class-consciousness. With all the basically free high-production tools and talent on the left, is it not possible?

*Or is it that simple?

    a more constructive (?) type of art with grander vision or ability to change and create genres. Something like a Lord of the Rings which birthed fantasy

    Building on this, Tolkien wrote about part of his intent to be the creation of a new mythological past. A leftist project would run perpendicular in that it would be, for lack of a better term, prophetic. It would seek to instill a unifying vision of the post-revolution future, whereas Tolkien in creating fantasy was trying to create a new mythical past. In the beginning of the Silmarillion, there is the creation myth. Would the prophesied revolution take a similar role in the tale of the future we are building? The revolutionaries as the Ainur in a structure similar to Judges instead of genesis.

    I think you’ve touched on a really fascinating topic. I’ll be checking that pod out, it sounds cool.

      Yes, exactly what I was thinking! It would more be in the genre of scifi or science fantasy likely since it is future-oriented.

      There are some subgenres like solarpunk and hopepunk I know of, but these are more about people post-Revolution rather than stories written by people who live in a post-Revolution society (unless the authors live in AES states). Somewhat of an anthropological interest of mine I guess
