By 2018, Teen Vogue had not only embraced social justice themes but also aligned with radical leftist ideas. It published articles encouraging Marxist analysis of society, promoting the idea that understanding class struggles could illuminate current social and political issues. The magazine praised figures like the outspoken communist Ash Sarkar, further cementing its ideological tilt.
Some critics viewed Teen Vogue’s content as a form of propaganda, aiming to influence impressionable youth towards anti-capitalist, anti-Western viewpoints. The magazine’s political stance was uncompromising, positioning it as a battleground for ideological influence amid the culture wars.
