Collectivists hate art. Capitalists love art.
If you look at socialist countries like Cuba, there are 0 artists. You must get approval from the government to make a "Creative Production" https://havanatimes.org/?p=141068 https://havanatimes.org/?p=141068
This is why capitalism is amazing. Capitalism works so well that we can have $2M urinals.
I want artists in my society. Enough of this communism from this author.
- jvs0n 8y agoWhat an offensive comment. Socialist countries don't have art and artists? lol. Some of the greatest musicians, filmmakers, visual artists were from the Soviet Union
- thundergolfer 8y agoNot to mention the myriad anti-capitalist artists the produce great work within capitalist economies. That comment is so absurdly wrong I wonder what kind of person has the ignorance and gall to make it.
- sleepysysadmin 8y agoIn the USSR before Stalin's death. It was a crime to make any art. After Stalin's death they decriminalized art but it was still illegal to be an artist. That isn't even to get into the censorship. The fundamental reasoning here, in communism where everyone gets the same pay regardless of performance. If artist is an option, everyone would become an artist; why work a hard when it doesnt matter. That's why communism/socialism bans artists. You never addressed this. You simply asserted I was offensive. You risked going to a gulag and near certainly probably death by creating art. Nobody did this, the few who did, did it in secret.
