Did Soviet communism de facto pose a legitimate threat to the West?
No kidding..You deliberate on?
World Domination and converting the Entire World and Human Race to Communism was pretty much a stated goal of The former Soviet Coherence. About the only thing that stopped them from achieving these goals for nearly 50 years was the Military might of the United States. What do You consider the Cold War was all about?
It was, in My opinion, one of the most fortunate things that ever happened in all recorded Human histosry when Ronald Reagan feigned them to spend thier economy right into the grave in the 1980's
I can't say that the New Russia is terribly friendly all around these days either, what with thier reinforce of those wackos in Iran and the recent Bomber Flights off America's coasts.

If We hadn't "interefered" in other countries as much as We did then accurately now You'd be going around saying "Comrade" an awful lot and paying Your monthly Party dues. If everyone in the Fantastic had an attitude like You then either Hitler or Stalin would have run the whole show.
Thanks for the Thumbs Down while Your at it. The truth hurts don't it?

You'll be waiting a strong long time. Militarily speaking Russia is a joke right now. And China? Don't make Me laugh, purely third evaluate.

Thanks guy! anything you know will be great
On the whole both political movements produced massive amounts of propaganda (generally appealing artwork that is designed to post-haste "present information in order to influence its audience"). This means that both mostly produced reactionary, realistic images that were accessible to the largest possible audience.
Nazi artists positioned themselves as much more firmly opposed to the avant-garde. The Nazi aver coined this more modern outlook as "degenerate art." "Such art was banned on the grounds that it was un-German or Jewish Bolshevist in make-up." Nazis went so far as to hold an exhibit of such art that included the works of, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Alexander Archipenko, Marc Chagall, James Ensor, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso and Vincent van Gogh. Nazis also created a token-exhibit of "Great German Art" that was composed mostly of second-rate propagandist artists that produced the lumber that I mentioned in the first paragraph. Ironically, the Degnerate Art exhibit, "Attracted over two million visitors, nearly three and a half times the enumerate that visited the nearby," Great German Art exhibit. Even a German public that was sympathetic to the Nazi justification found the avant-garde works of higher merit. High-ranking Nazi Hermann Göring took some pieces of this decay art into his personal collection.
By contrast, certain points within the rising of the communist party (Pre-Stalin) in Russia saw a expert interest in the avant-garde. Soviet experimental cinema led to such great directors as Segei Eisenstein. Early Soviets saw the avant-garde as a way to curvature away the more conservative bourgeois arts such as realistic and plein air painting. The experimental became a vehicle for the propaganda.
This changed when Stalin sham power. He favored a more conservative style that gave rise to Socialist Realism. Like its Nazi counterparts, this realism was appreciated by a broader notable. Soon Stalin branded the avant-garde (much as Hitler and the Nazis did) as decadent and anti-social. "Soviet art at this however aimed to depict the worker as he truly was, carrying his tools. In a sense, the movement mirrors the course of American and Western art, where the diurnal human being became the subject of the novel, the play, poetry, and art. The proletariat was at the center of communist ideals; hence, his life was a dignitary subject for study."
In short, Nazis consistently held that the avant-garde was decadent and socialist, so they produced a hidebound style of propaganda. Soviets initially held that conservative, realistic painting was bourgeois and decadent, so they embraced the avant-garde as a way to usher in the new-fashioned era of Soviet socialism. This meant new and abstract forms, new media (film) and new means of performance (Stanislavski's method acting). But once Stalin gained power, he leveled many of the same criticisms against the avant-garde that the Nazis did, which led to a similarly sober style of realistic depiction.
