Sort of true, but capitalism is notoriously willing to align itself with anything, as long as they don't see you as a threat. So you can sneak in counter-hegemonic messaging. Usually it's hidden behind humor and irony, that's the classic.

The issue is actually getting into a position where you can actually do it from. It's extremely unlikely someone with revolutionary principles would make their way into a big name publisher or even if they had those principles, it's likely they would become corrupted, because they are not accounted by the people.

Still I make this point, because while it's true you can't explicitly, in all seriousness, make something like: Animated series on how to organize and build a Socialist government, there's way more wiggle room than one might assume.

The easiest way to critique fascism is be like Helldivers, but I do have to say they rely on way too much irony, which just ends up preaching to either choir. Of course I could be wrong too.
