Doesn't have to be explicitly Marxist of course. I love the WW2 USSR posters and art myself.

EDIT: Is there a site that archives art like that (posters, magazines, zines etc.)?

I also really like how the socialist realism style looks in murals, mosaics and reliefs.

Just a few random examples, not necessarily my favorites

As for poster art, there's just too much to choose from, but here are a few i found recently:

I like the internationalism in this one

This one just encapsulates optimism for the future

And i appreciate how this one highlights industry and agriculture

And really we should also not forget to mention music as another form of socialist art, but again, way too much to choose from there, best left to a separate post.

    Nice. It's called "Fighting for Peace", created for International Workers' Day in 1950 by a Romanian artist. (I just felt i had to represent socialist Romania; it produced some great art - including film and music - during the socialist period and i sometimes feel like we are a bit under-appreciated among the socialist bloc.)
