Hello, Comrades! r/socialistmovies is a place for people of all leftist tendencies to discuss and share movies that may have socialist or anti-capitalist plots, characters or themes, however overtly or subtly conveyed to the audience. This ranges from documentaries about socialism and socialist figures and organizations to fictional stories about the same. This also may include films which don't explicitly mention political ideology, but whose themes and subtexts may easily be applicable. This primarily pertains to full length feature films, but short films are also welcome. Other videos must be in some way related to a socialist movie, such as a review.

Got a good movie you think the rest of us should see? Feel free to post a link to an online version, or post your own analysis and commentary of the movie and why you think it expresses socialist or anti-capitalist sentiment.

Got a question about a certain movie, or aspect of a movie, you think may pertain to socialism? Feel free to post a question or theory, all are welcome!

Just looking for good material for Communist Movie Night with your friends? Browse around other threads, or feel free to pose a question if there's something particularly specific you're looking for.

SUBREDDIT RULES:

Absolutely no posts that express, condone, support or apologize for:

• Racism

• Sexism

• Ableism

• Classism

• Homophobia

• Transphobia

• Religious Bigotry

• Capitalism

• Fascism

• Rape Apology

• Reactionary ideology

No sectarianism. This is a place for socialists of all tendencies, as well as non-socialists looking to learn about socialism. We've all got our own opinions and ideologies, and this should be a place for all of us to talk about the various films that express or portray them. If a film has a skewed portrayal of one ideology over another, discuss it maturely (as well as how it may have affected the story).

Blatant attempts at trolling, flaming, or brigading will be removed and the user(s) responsible banned outright.

No personal attacks or insults. We all have different opinions and different tastes, and that certainly pertains to movies as well as it does ideology, but there's no reason for this to allow intelligent discussion about film to devolve into outright being a dick.

When submitting, use the search bar and try not to post links to movies that have been posted before, so we don't end up with a bunch of reruns.

Meta posts are allowed, but use them sparingly and keep them relevant.
