I've noticed an emerging socialist aesthetic where whatever is being posted is at frequently at an angle, it uses a more minimalist color scheme of red, white and black, etc. More and more stuff is starting to look like this.
Has anyone else noticed this?

what i notice is the infantility of it all "take back the power!'', "not voting for the socialist party is supporting the man in charge", "more positive sounding words!"
Wow really worked hard to unlock that secret
There's only so many words you can put on a sign.
I'm talking about booklets and fliers too, they give people a sense of words being rote, background noise. granted, simplicity can work, as trumped recently showed, but it has to be done with a compelling delivery that makes people feel that you're with them, it has to transcend it's appearance
i know that stuff like this isn't the solution either, it's the same form so to say, a distance that gives an impression of "a dude talking in a strange a manner"
history repeats itself, beautifully, like a rhyme
...
Is Communism the key to all of this?
I think you're missing the bigger picture that simplistic is the ONLY thing that works. You need one or two simple ideas that can be put into catchy/easy to remember phrases, and then you need people to repeat them over and over again.
Reagan got elected on literally almost the exact same memes as Trump, Bush Sr. got in on a residual wave from him, Clinton got in on being cool, Bush Jr. cosplayed a cowboy to seem "authentic", Obama rebounded by seeming "hip" and repeating "Change!" and "Hope!", and of course you know what happened this cycle.
None of those people won on complex ideas.
I think, ultimately, words matter less than what you're trying to do. Sanders didn't get as far as he did because of any special charisma.
but none of those people are simpletons, neither were their messages simple. "make america great again" refers to an indefinite past, it allows the imagination to make "past" transcend history, in a sense making it more real than any literal referral to a certain year. it's not ideas that need to be complex, it's that they take the receiver into a complexity he is an active participant in himself, people didn't care about all of trump's scandals because, ironically, he never presented himself as a person, he is god emperor because he allows his followers a fantasy in which he is. clinton did the opposite, it was hillary and her life story, which is why every scandal hurt her that much more
i would say that sanders is very charismatic, he can radiate anger without wrath, thus allowing him a fanbase of millions that would otherwise be turned of by the spite and resentment that characterizes so many others who say the same things as he does
Yes.
Look, I'm not going to tell you that your entire post is off base or anything, but I think you're in serious need of getting off the internet every once in a while and engaging with the real voting demographic. I guarantee you that the generation of people that called him "god emperor" or anything similar is not the generation that put him into office.
And yeah, none of those people were dumb and that wasn't my point. My point is that trying to be too smart with the core of your message and campaign is counterproductive.
it was an example of trump allowing imagination, i didn't mean to imply that he got voted in simply because of this particular set of followers
my point is that smart doesn't mean looking more like an academically advanced treatise, but more about revoking a subjective experience

I don't know if that had anything to do with it, tbh. None of the people I've talked to about Sanders said that his appeal was not being wrathful.
Also, I don't know if that's entirely realistic.
Well, it's called Constructivism. This goes back to the times of the early Soviet Union.
Is this good? For some reason I associate that kind of aesthetics with the new left
10/10 poster
If you want it to look more constructivist:
I would use a more geometric font (if you want a free one google 'league spartan font')
and I would use the same shade of red rather than 2 shades.
i made an infographic to clearly explain capitalism
Great job, gomr8.
Like this?
The destiny of Soviet art is a perfect microcosm of the Revolution losing all its libertarian roots.

Yes.

haven't these been the socialist/anarchist colours for 150 years?
Don't know about white it was the color of monarchism.
Red black and white together were the colors of the German Reichs
