Commiepunk 
I love the little details like the 3 arrows poster in the newstand. one for $, one for the republican party and one for the democrats. apparently the PUA is a democratic socialist state led by a coalition of the CPA and a socialist party. more art by Fan Wennan
Patsoc bullshit.
a chinese communist doing patsoc art? for all we know the U.S. was liberated by the PLA in this future
Honestly, your average Chinese communist is more likely to subscribe to patsoc shit i.e. strongly into Chinese nationalism and think that “woke culture is destroying the American empire” than most people’s positions here.
There’s a reason why I much prefer to hang out on Hexbear than to read some of those brainworm stuff (just to be clear, not all of them are like this, and there is a lot of diverse opinion, but this is not an uncommon take at all)
People in China do not care about "woke" or whatever culture wars are going on in the America unless they're gigaliberals who love America. Patsocs mostly just complain about "Anglo-Saxon Capital" and make up slurs for Ukraine and Israel supporters.
Most apolitical people don’t give a shit for sure, but have you talked to die-hard communists? I’m not talking about party members (I have friends in the CPC and most of them are just there for the clout, or get recruited for academic excellence, but it’s difficult even to discuss basic theory with them), I’m talking about the hardcore ideologically committed communists who want China to defeat the capitalist West. lol some of the nationalist stuff they say is too much for me.
That sucks. Kinda expected to me considering that's pretty much how the Party worked in Yugoslavia too. How many party members do you think are actual communists tho?
Not if it still has that fucking flag.
I think it is the lore behind this this guy's art. Dude probably just looked up "communist party america" and just rolled with it.
Haz had this image pinned to the top of his twitter profile for months if not years. 13 stripes = 13 colonies = nothing has actually changed.
Chinese patsocs didn't like his art because all the megastructures looked "too soviet" which tbf was a fair critique.
