Diegetic essentialism 101, it leads people to ask deeply unserious and frankly stupid questions like: "is superman actually a socialist?". Like, no , unless superman is written as such, he's not. These fantasy worlds you escape into? Theyre written a certain way by its authors, and no amount of nerd slapfighting online will change that, please stop wasting your time.

Counterpoint: “Superman: The Red Son” is the only canon Superman comic book, all the other ones are fake alternate universe propaganda

My favorite part about the movie was when he was mad about stalin having gulags and stalin was like "sometimes you gotta do a little authority" and superman was like "no dad" and totally proved him wrong by murdering him with a laser like immediately
