So difficult to find sympathetic fiction online. Currently looking at a book called The Sympathizer by a Vietnamese author about a pro-Vietnamese double agent living in Amerika, seems interesting. Every other search result is anti-communist piss splattered over pages and sold as “gripping, realistic, startlingly accurate”.
Even if it’s bad writing or whatever, I’m curious if any of y’all know some explicitly or implicitly communist fiction worth checking out.
I dont. I do like the recent X-Men reboot because they have a “revolutionary” vibe but thats pretty much it.
Do any of you writes/draw comic books/manga? Do you have any ideas? Maybe we could start something ourselves
Speaking of comics, I heard that “Immortal Hulk” is interesting (anti-capitalist, pro-revolution), which is very weird for a Marvel property. (I haven’t read it yet, so it might have a shit ending)
I absolutely loved Immortal Hulk and recommend it. It’s more eco-socialist than anything, but it deals with very heavy subjects like abuse, forgiveness, love and hate, climate change, etc. It’s wonderful and actually made me give a shit about a Marvel character lol
on comics: Don’t bother with Superman Red Son. Garbage as hell.
This. Ultras, trots and radlibs of course love it.
Bro no way someone who calls themselves socialists can like that shit. Not even ultras or trots, the comic is a giant “what about human nature tho?” How tf do they like it??
It shits on USSR and especially Stalin. Ultras, trots and anarkiddies, etc. will always eat that up even if there’s “CIA” written on the trough.
