Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Doesn't have to be explicitly Marxist of course. I love the WW2 USSR posters and art myself.

EDIT: Is there a site that archives art like that (posters, magazines, zines etc.)?

Absolutely!

I also really like how the socialist realism style looks in murals, mosaics and reliefs.

Just a few random examples, not necessarily my favorites

As for poster art, there's just too much to choose from, but here are a few i found recently:

I like the internationalism in this one

This one just encapsulates optimism for the future

And i appreciate how this one highlights industry and agriculture

And really we should also not forget to mention music as another form of socialist art, but again, way too much to choose from there, best left to a separate post.

Setting this as my profile banner as we speak.

Nice. It's called "Fighting for Peace", created for International Workers' Day in 1950 by a Romanian artist. (I just felt i had to represent socialist Romania; it produced some great art - including film and music btw - during the socialist period and i sometimes feel like we are a bit under-appreciated among the socialist bloc.)
