The hope of the USSR and the soviet revolution allowed Americans and the West to believe in a utopian future too, what was essentially FALGSC but without any of the progressive imagery. They glommed onto their aesthetic. The Western sci-fi tradition basically stole the imagination of the USSR for their own worldbuilding and ideas, but stripped it of any revolutionary content and made it just about technology and “ethics” in some vague sense. These books and movies, produced in 1920-1960, portrayed a united humanity exploring space and robotics in humanitarian quests.

They deluded themselves that they could do the same thing as the USSR, progress and unite humanity, just without the icky communism part.

Then the grimy dystopian futures started taking over our collective imaginations during the Cold War, as we started distancing ourselves mentally from the world the USSR wanted and imagining a world where capital won completely instead. It’s no coincidence that as the USSR weakened and withdrew and turned revisionist and eventually collapsed, the bright collective future the world imagined collapsed with it.
