This is what happens when a communist party abandons their communist asthetics in favor of bougeoise electoral asthetics.
CPJ are monarchist socdems. Chukaku-ha and Kakumaru-ha are where you find spicy reds who are still subject to state repression.

Daily reminder that aesthetic criticisms are dumb. I know jack shit about the Japanese political situation, so I have no idea if these mascots are actually at all effective, but if they are, then they should be used. There's nothing 'bourgeois' about them, anyway. No aesthetics are inherently bourgeois.
You say no asthetics are inherently bougeoise, yet I raise you the entire shtick of the west wing
I don’t think a narrative TV show is really “aesthetics”. Aesthetically it’s just dudes in suits giving speeches.
You could say the same thing about Harry Potter, yet it's asthetics infect all of bougeoise society.
We dislike these pieces of media cuz their narratives explicitly send bourgeois messages, there’s really nothing inherent to the artistry itself that’s bourgeois. Ones a TV show and the other is a series of young adult fantasy books, there are examples of both those things with leftist themes
there are examples of both those things with leftist themes
West wing and Harry Potter has leftist themes?
are you intentionally acting daft to be a troll or did you just miss the first part of that sentence where I listed the genres both those works of fiction belong to?

The main one Koyo no Yoko represents labour issues. She's depicted as a middle-aged mysterious woman who lies about her age & is a "Salt" (there's a union organising term for ya)
My favorite mascot was always the dog whose jaw got unhinged from yelling about AmeriKKKans on Okinawa.
There’s probably just as bad videos coming from China. Sooooo...
