Honestly, I would welcome anyone trying to help start the trend.

Like, seriously, I don’t know what story series or franchise to pick, but goddammit, how is “communist fanfiction” not a genre?

I mean, it’s much easier than writing or publishing a “real novel” (that’s also communist) so, like, why not?

It’s more achievable, at least.

    I… currently have none.

    But honestly, I wouldn’t underestimate the power of culture or even pop culture.

    I just want, like, a group of writers or people that would be interested in doing this and sharing ideas.

    But idk. They’re stories, yeah, but it would help with outreach and, besides, Marxist-Leninists have a problem of sometimes over-prioritizing the same places for recruitment or education. A foray into fanfiction would be another audience to reach so, like, why not? It’s not like it has to eat at anyone’s time a lot (depending on the person), it’ll be fun, and, hell, it may even spur some people to make communist fiction that gets published or is “official” later on.

      Yeah, capitalists are using pop culture all the time for their interests. They preach individualism, demonize people who question the status quo or just straight up paint communism as evil.
