If we're doing socialist-realist Trumpism shouldn't he look happy about the joyous future that beckons under the omnipotent gaze of the Great Leader? And no smoke belching from the chimneys which are supposed to represent the renaissance of heavy industry. Wreckers! Cliques of wreckers everywhere...

There's nothing remotely "socialist" about anything happening here for actual fucks sake.

He is not happy. He is dialed-in. Focused. Happiness must wait as long as there’s work to be done for the Homeland (and the work for the Homeland never ends). Also, there is no smoke from the chimneys bc he forges steel w the raw power of his hands. The factory is just there for ambience.

Socialist-realism is the name of the art style we familiarly associate with Soviet propaganda posters. (Although it was applied to many other art forms in the USSR/Soviet Block.)

I am painfully familiar with this, thanks, I am from Bulgaria. Initially I was unsure if the description was not also supposedly being descriptive of Trump's politics, which is why I asked about it.

I all but guarantee that the fashy broccoli haired intern asked Grok for a poster of a white male worker in front of smoke stacks done in the style of Socialist-Realism.
