You must be joking? It's obvious if you actually care to look that leftist governments value the arts much more than liberal ones.

- astrange 4y agoIs there a study on this? (Serious question.) It would seem that it opens you up to the problem of other people deciding whether you're an artist or not and if so whether you're a good artist. The same of course happens with capitalism, where it's your customers doing it. (Or in the case of books, which are almost never profitable, the VC-like publishers deciding to give you advances.) So of course the reason modern mixed economies are good is there's more than one set of people that you may be able to convince to fund you.
