Media in Communism

HOW DARE YOU INSULT ВИННИ ПУХ

we weren't kidding when we said proletarian culture was extremely advanced.

My god, why must leftists be so annoying and serious about everything? Everyone here already knows capitalism will eat us all alive, but depriving them of entertainment and normie socialization because of muh ideology is some next level autism

of course, I used to watch it as well as a kid. It was worlds apart from American television. There wasn't really any violence like in of the time Looney Tunes. It was like 50% folk tales and book adaptations and 50% Soviet OC. It's kind of weird but I can't really remember any particular narrative that was pushed in these cartoons, not even socialism (tho maybe it was because I was too young to catch that), except the loaded conservative element in the fairy tales. I think the main difference is that Soviet cartoons were never really serialized except like Pooh if there were more stories to tell about.


Because exposing children to particular media is a serious matter.
Would you let your children rot their brain on television, social media and tablet games? If anything they'd be better socialized without it. A bit hypocritical coming from an Anprim smh.

Whoops, forgot to undo my shitposting flag


There are some developmentally appropriate and educational media in these things, a good parent thinks critically about what they expose their children to and discards the garbage appropriately.

Besides, childhood is a time for the child to learn about the society they live in and its norms (even though society is a noxious dumpster fire), save the discourse for when they're teenagers and they actually give a shit about these kinds of things.

The problem is there is a systematic degradation in western media . For example Looney Tunes was far less propaganda in its heyday given their artists lived during the Great Depression and it was decades before western media became a wasteland of bad writing and blatant advertising. Look at Riff Raft Daffy from 1948 and compare it to Space Jam from 1996 and you'll see a monumental shift.

What are some good ones?

Then don't watch Looney Toons?

You missed my point, I used Loony Tunes as a example of this decline in western media. You can't escape it, bad writing has infected Hollywood like a disease since now the focus is on marketing and quantity over quality.

You're missing mine. Of course there's toxic stuff in the media, but its mixed in with all the useful stuff too. The way capitalist society is structured is such that it is wholly necessary to utilize the media, but a good parent is able to inform the child of what is toxic and what is useful.
