Oh yes, that evil Capital paying you for a service you promise to provide, and then getting a refund when you don't provide it. The oppression!

- schiffern 3y agoThe "service" was art. The museum got art. The supplier delivered.a In fact they got more than they bargained for. Do they really think it would've made "much, much more money than what it invested" if the artist had produced the other concept? That backstory is the art. The museum happily profited off it. However the emperors don't like having their clothes mocked (and they definitely don't like it when you reverse power roles), so the artist needed to be 'taught a lesson' and more importantly 'made an example of'. I wonder how much the museum paid in legal fees to recover less than $77k?
- toyg 3y agoI didn't mention anything about oppression, just that the State enforces one's relationship to Capital. Which is objectively true. The fact that you reflexively went for some talking point is one of the reasons for the poor state of political philosophy in modern societies.
