everything may have a relevance to politics, but there is a line between art and propaganda.
- foldr 17d agoSo is Casablanca art or propaganda? IMO 'art' and 'propaganda' are largely orthogonal concepts. Something can be art but not propaganda, propaganda but not art, neither, or both.
- ajuc 16d agoThe line is usually "do I agree with it". That's why old political writing is good - because the politics has been settled by now, most people won't argue 1984 was unfairly criticizing totalitarianism or Starship Troopers are too hard on fascism. But new political writing is outrageous for half the people, because they disagree with it.
