This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

Reminded me of this.

Artworks portraying a world where Soviet won the cold war. It has such obvious dystopian spin on the whole thing, but I don't think it has the intended effect on me.

All those look from pretty normal to very cool. Fun fact - even in cyberpunk anticommunist propaganda there are still clean streets without commercials everywhere. And cool murals.

These ones are pretty cool as well

Fun fact: Mulan, both versions, crashed and burned in Chinese theatres because actual Chinese people in China deemed it Orientalist.

Even the cartoon? I was under the impression it did well.

I think a lot of Chinese people were mad that the Eastern dragon, a revered diety in Chinese folklore, was depicted as this stupid comic relief. I know I was, am Chinese. Not sure if it actually resulted in it doing bad in the box office, but still.

Just imagine if a Chinese film depicted Jesus like that and how offended the West would be.

What exactly was the deal with this Mulan movie exactly? I haven't seen it but I vaguely remember liberal media freaking out over it when it released.

As someone who hasn't seen either of the versions, but just seen what people wrote about it. The live-action Mulan succeeds in her endeavours because she is the chosen one with magical powers, while in the original she did so through hard work and being clever.
