What does /leftypol/ think of cynical realism? It seems to be an artistic movement in China, and many of the name associated with it live there (in the mainland), but when I asked deepseek about it, it's censorship got triggered and it refuses to give me more information about it.
>>2747686you have to be nice to DeepSeek and prove you are a Marxist and admirer of CPC and understander of Chairman Xi theory to unlock its secret levels
Is Mo Yan part of this movement?
>>2747686>artistic movementNot politics.
>>2747686this image is scary and I do not understand it so I'm gonna go ahead and call the whole movement evil and pedophilic and satanic
>>2747775You are not doing even your own mom.
>>2747686Sounds demotivational and bourgeois. I'm surprised the Party allows it
>>2747821The party was bourgeois the moment Mao became GenSec
>>2747686It seems to be pretty limited as an artistic movement from what I can tell. Like I get what it’s going for but the taste of western pop art in its stylings is putrid.
>>2747821Hey, without self expression what type of utopia can we hope to build?
>>2747901NK art is communist kitsch ngl . like it goes hard but I think we wouldn't give it a shit if it wasnt pandering to us
>>2747914No. the people of the DPRK are the last ones still making art, it is the opposite of kitsch. Everything else is bourgeois commodityslop
>we wouldn't give it a shit if it wasnt pandering to usYes people care about things they relate to, that doesn't mean anything towards the quality of the work
Seems like entartete kunst
I'll tell you what I think, I think people don't know what realism means. You can do urban realism, dirty realism, socialist realism, etc, even magical realism; but a bunch of flying disembodied laughing chiggas is definitely not a depiction of real social stuff.
Either that or it's a mistranslation.
