To want to be rid of romantic media is to admit being a sore loser.
Yet there’s nobody calling for banning superhero media which is far more fantastical
(Irony is romance is also an element in superhero media. Chivalry is often a powerful plot device)
The only meaningful Soviet contribution to world socialism was laying the groundwork for the Chinese revolution. In almost every other regard it was either irrelevant or harmful, broadly a mistake. Certainly it has permanently crippled the Anglo-European and Japanese left, condemned to live in it's shadow and alternate between pointless disavowal and pointless defense of a failed experiment which has been dead for longer than the average socialist has been alive.
Time will tell if China alone can outweigh the depths of that mistake.
I will give partial dispensation for Vietnam and Cuba, but in the big picture I'm not sure they matter.
>>811837Based take anon; honestly it seems like the majority of "anti-capitalist" rhetoric from the USSR was more about us vs them dynamics (like the corn fiasco of rejecting western genetic discoveries, an example for

"consumerism" as a negative phenomenon is a spook.
Consumerism is the law of nature.
Plants consume sunlight, water, and minerals to make sugars for heterotrophic entities.
Stars consume hydrogen and helium to make radiation and gas pressure.
Bacteria consume waste products of organic processes so that they can return to relative elemental state for new life to grow
Producers cannot exist without consumers and vice versa
In the future Global USSR, all 18-year old Citizens, both Male and Female, will be conscripted into two years of service in the International Red Guards, the Global Paramilitary organization controlled by the Global Communist Party that will enforce the Worldwide Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution (they will be responsible for purging the Superstructure of all Reactionary elements, including eliminating Religion, Purging/Re-Educating Fascists, Liberals, and Revisionists, stoping all Counter-Revolutionary activity, eliminating Bourgeois Femininity by making sure no Women have Long Hair (Hair below the Chin and/or longer then a Pixie cut), Dresses/Skirts, Makeup/Lipstick, etc. along with running Struggle Sessions and Re-Education Camps, etc.) with all conscripted 18-year old Women being sent to the Maoist Boot Camps where their Hair will be shaved off in a buzz cut, they will wear Military Mao Suits, they will live in Military barracks, and they will spend every day rotating between Maoist ideological indoctrination classes where they read the works of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and Gonzalo, in order to truly comprehend the theory required to fully embrace the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the highest stage of Marxism, and high-intensity Paramilitary training that will involve both extremely intensive physical exercise and weapons training (primarily Small Arms as all Heavy weapons will be controlled by the Global Peoples Liberation Army, the all-volunteer force that won the World Maoist PPW and is now dedicated to suppressing Anti-Communist insurgencies) all of which will fully purge them of any vestiges of Bourgeois Femininity and the Reactionary Patriarchal Gender Binary, with the two years every Female Global USSR Citizen serves in the International Red Guards between the ages of 18 and 20, being a rite of passage to transform them into Liberated Socialist Women that uphold the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the highest stage of Marxism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🚀☢️ 💇♀️👩🦲!
