1950's Superman's pro capitalist & pro democracy message8412

Collector Khovard private msg quote post Address this user
For my book about the DC Comics representative who sold the company's comic books outside of the US & Canada (1948-1983), I'd appreciate comments on the following.

At least in the immediate post war years, there was resistance to importing Superman comic books because of A. their pro capitalist or B. their pro democracy messages.

i.e. in France because of A and in Franco's Spain because of B.

Could someone email me a photo of a page with pro democracy and or pro capitalist/free enterprise content (especially from the late 40's or the 1950's) OR brief summaries of such content along with date of publication.

Thanks

I guess this cover could be construed as making a capitalist
statement with the modern appliance containing an abundance of food.

That’s really neither just war mongering, racist with a neo colonialism undertone(which i guess is pro capitalist in a #MAGA type of way).
