Tbf, I watched Red Dawn knowing it was complete garbage, just to root for the Soviet invaders.
Like, I don't genuinely believe that an outside force imposing communism upon the West is necessary, useful, or even possible, but it's a very fun fantasy, if you are aware of that fact and engaging with it as pure fantasy, while also engaging in tactics and theories that actually work.
I know that the CPC are not coming to save us. I still enjoy "if the USSR won the Cold War" alt history and the aesthetics of the "communist oppression" that American libs screamed about in the 50s, as just a fun thing to fantasize about when in a "laugh or cry" situation. An ideologically flawed fantasy feels better than doomer crying.
