Commiepunk I love the little details like the 3 arrows poster in the newstand. one for $, one for the republican party and one for the democrats. apparently the PUA is a democratic socialist state led by a coalition of the CPA and a socialist party. more art by Fan Wennan
CPUSAcore lol and I don’t mean that in a flattering sense - America has gotta go
seems like america dissolved completely and was replaced but i don’t know the deep lore behind this art
It’s clearly just the United Socialist States of America
socialism or barbarism
Socialism of course but the very idea of America is barbarous
NEWS.STAND
Looks like the Trots won.
Leek museum
Love the huawei 5g cells
or probably 8G ig
Smile you’re on camera
Aye fuck off wank
Keeping any form of the stars and bars in a hypothetical future communist American state is akin to rearranging Nazi Germany’s flag a bit and replacing the swastika with a hammer and sickle. It is symbology that is directly tied to a deeply evil history and none of it should be preserved
I like the walkable infrastructure, though
i agree but i’m assuming the artist, not being american, just pulled a hypothetical socialist flag from a historical one readily available to use
so i won’t fault them. not a fan of the cpusa flag myself it kind of sucks even without the fascist baggage
Need a new bioshock in this setting.
The entire game is living a normal, chill life waiting for the gunfights and magic mutant powers and nothing happens.
Patsoc bullshit.
a chinese communist doing patsoc art? for all we know the U.S. was liberated by the PLA in this future
Honestly, your average Chinese communist is more likely to subscribe to patsoc shit i.e. strongly into Chinese nationalism and think that “woke culture is destroying the American empire” than most people’s positions here.
There’s a reason why I much prefer to hang out on Hexbear than to read some of those brainworm stuff (just to be clear, not all of them are like this, and there is a lot of diverse opinion, but this is not an uncommon take at all)
People in China do not care about “woke” or whatever culture wars are going on in the America unless they’re gigaliberals who love America. Patsocs mostly just complain about “Anglo-Saxon Capital” and make up slurs for Ukraine and Israel supporters.
Most apolitical people don’t give a shit for sure, but have you talked to die-hard communists? I’m not talking about party members (I have friends in the CPC and most of them are just there for the clout, or get recruited for academic excellence, but it’s difficult even to discuss basic theory with them), I’m talking about the hardcore ideologically committed communists who want China to defeat the capitalist West. lol some of the nationalist stuff they say is too much for me.
(I have friends in the CPC and most of them are just there for the clout, or get recruited for academic excellence, but it’s difficult even to discuss basic theory with them)
That sucks. Kinda expected to me considering that’s pretty much how the Party worked in Yugoslavia too. How many party members do you think are actual communists tho?
Not if it still has that fucking flag.
I think it is the lore behind this this guy’s art. Dude probably just looked up “communist party america” and just rolled with it.
Haz had this image pinned to the top of his twitter profile for months if not years. 13 stripes = 13 colonies = nothing has actually changed.
Chinese patsocs didn’t like his art because all the megastructures looked “too soviet” which tbf was a fair critique.
I don’t like how industrial he makes things look but they’re still pretty cool
honestly i’d love to find more hopeful futurist art in other styles too
The tragedy of marine culture is a funny bit ngl, as if a socialist America would suddenly stop seafaring.
I think they filled in all the oceans in this guy’s universe.
That’s a hilariously bad idea lol.
excavating literally all land on earth so we can dump it into the 70% of the earth that’s ocean
The original artist is Groudon.
leek museum sound sick tbh
Analysis deep-rooted bad habits of ocean culture
