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.
Consider something popular, say DC comics. In them, USSR was a monstrous totalitarian hellscape akin to the most fevered dreams of white house propagandists, USA had fought the Nazis in the name of freedom and goodwill, hereditary oligarchs are somehow good people and anarchists actually achieve something.
Now try framing all this junk from a communist perspective. You’ll end up with a bigger deconstruction than the Permian extinction
Eh, so? Dewit.
Okay, I guess. Time to write communist Warhammer 40k
Hell yeah!
No, but seriously, all you have to do is basically just change some details and slap some communism or leftist stuff on there and that’s that. It’s not that hard.
T’au good*

My favorite not-commie faction I love to pretend is communist.
According to Gav Thorpe, tau were inspired by NATO

Only recently learned that the West likely only fought the Nazis at all to stop the Soviets from emerging the big winners of WWII, and that that is likely also why we nuked Japan.
Ayup. But that’s not what the media narrative is saying, now is it? And it’s so ingrained, alongside certain other elements of fiction, that it’s going to be pretty hard to frame it in a diamat fashion
