It's not making, creating. It's consuming.
Wrt. the Communist Manifesto: it's precisely the bourgeoisie and the church who are responsible for the greatest art, and its development. As you say, the workers love kitsch.
- tehjoker 2y agoLol, the bourgeoisie and the church pay for art because they have surplus cash and it is almost always workers that produce it.
- tgv 2y agoAnd what do you think artists are going to do when nobody pays them? Something that does pay the bills, obviously. It really is a danger to the continuation of the arts. And let's be honest: communist art is generally rather poor. The state, or the avant-garde of the proletariat for that matter, does not have good taste, but does tend to towards nepotism.
