Man the way I see it, the whole purpose of communism is to free the individual to fully live our lives. To learn, create and play.

Those are the things that make humanity, and being a human, awesome. Without those things our lives are just empty survival.

And I just think how you view “pop culture” is a bit due to elitism (not yours per se, systemically), and how we view things made “for the masses” to be low quality and to have no worth.

I see all art after the revolution being popular art. All culture being pop culture.

When you mention “video games”, “super heroes”, and IPs, you are not seeing the pop culture, you are seeing the capitalism.

And art is not something we “worry” about. It’s what makes all the worrying of life matter.
