Line 5:
* ''Proletarian.'' Protagonist should be working class (this included farmers and soldiers, but usually we're talking about a factory drama).
* ''Typical.'' Situations that could happen (for instance in factory).
* ''Partisan.'' Advocating for Communism. The hero should either be oppressed by capitalists, agitating to crush capitalism, or owe much to the Communist Revolution - ideally all three. Depicting something merely because it exists is merely ''naturalism''
** Technically, the first two were called "critical realism" because they depicted life under capitalism. Actual socialist realism took place in a [[Utopia
* ''Realistic.'' In terms of representation - none of the abstract modern art hated by your grandpa (and, for that matter, [[True Art Is Incomprehensible|dismissed]] and [[Le Film Artistique|made fun of]] on [[TV Tropes]]) - anything not strictly representational was "decadent", "bourgeois", "formalist" etc.
