I look at early Science fiction, and it seems a lot of it before the 50's had a communist character to it - thinking of stuff like "Red Star" or the whole topic of Russian Cosmism, it seems a lot of this got swallowed up by liberal and pro-colonial science fiction (starship troopers, star trek). So what happened? How would you contrast proletarian science fiction and bourgeoisie science fiction generally?
>>2862633Well one thing I would like to acknowledge is that many of the Golden Age/pulp magazine writers came out of the great depression and only ever took up writing for mass publication in somewhat trashy magazines because it was the only thing that paid, so I mean makes sense that people came out of that leaning somewhat prole until being sanitized in the 50s like so many other workers and industries. It's one of those topics that really fascinates me, like how blue collar Hollywood jobs used to be
>>2862724Also forgot to mention comics of the 30s, many serious artist because of the economy could not make it in high art circles and so had to settle for work that paid i.e. children's and gentlemen's publications, you know, trashy, low art magazines
>Proletarian science fiction
How about a communist revolution happening in our lifetime, that as fictional as it gets.
