Main entry
Leninist action show
(motif) / action show, adventure book, board game/computer game, or other such fictional narrative which aligns itself with a particular fictionalized concept of defending the Second World or defending the national or global working class, whatever the exact equivalent in-universe may be ->
essentially this is the motif of tying action or adventure narratives to a historical process of Communist revolution or at least a national independence movement that is actually stated to be aligned with some kind of Second World within the text
the only really clear, nail-on-the-head example I can think of in existing things is Ultraman series, which is kind of a weak example really as far as what this motif could be.
another much subtler example is the way that Steven Universe puts its concept of a vague transition out of empire in a historical context and it has one show that's a historical era of semi- violent conflict and then a second calmer show that's a historical era of what happens after that transition happened. it's like, exactly the hollow outline of this motif, making a story arc with the same outward shape without putting the crimson content inside.
