>>679809The material interests of a recently proletarianized liberal bourgeois artist are pretty clear: they want to continue "expressing themselves" on the public's dime, and making art that asserts the power of an individual's ideas over the culture of the masses.
"lol i'm going to throw thousands of years of folk culture into the trash and reinvent art from abstract principles lmao" - peak bourgeois idealism
>>679802>Pretty reasonable constraintsIt's funny that you are talking about "constraints" like an art school would do, the exact same terms.
But it's not art because anon said it wasn't, totally not the same thing. Really makes you think.
>>679831It's the synthesis of the best modernity with the best of folk traditions.
not a "break", not a "rejection", but a surpassing. it's the same idea as monuments to workers, and the luxurious interior of the moscow metro - something that before only the bourgeoisie could enjoy, now made public, available to the masses.
constructivists and their ilk, on the other hand, would have the proletariat confined to grey ugly boxes, essentially reproducing the grim utilitarian interiors of the factory. bourgeois fetishization of technology and industry. it's like a slave driver obsessed with drawing whips, chains and pillories
of course, the revisionist khruschev in the end granted the constructivists their wildest dreams: covering the entirety of the soviet union in pig disgusting khruschevkas (peak constructivism)
>>679894"commieblocks" are constructivism you dumb retard, part of "soviet avant garde"
socialist realism is moscow metro and palace of culture and science
dumb westoid retard kill yourself
>>679904Yeah, I agree.
Still better than retarfed avant garde and constructivist crap, though
>>680299They did and the Left is worse off for that. In China Maoist authorities tried to discourage people from reading Jane Austen because her works did not contain explicit reference to class struggle which failed miserably because her novels are just good fun and sometimes that is all that is needed to spark interest even if you realize the class and material bias present in a work written by a high tory bitch
(Ofc had the Maoist been as TERFpilled as i am they'd realize that women trying to select their partner ultimately stems from parental investment theory and thus division of sex and thus class struggle)
>>680856NTA but how is that sentiment wrong?
Art has no inherent value in class struggle.
If porkies spend millions of dollars in art, it's because it serves as a good distraction
People are too focused on symbols rather than intent/action.
>>680865>Art has no inherent value in class struggle.wow, I guess every actually existing socialist project was fucking retarded then, with all their posters, agitprop, painting, censorship, cultural development, funding of the arts, etc. etc.
this site is full of idiotic westoid morons who are too addicted to their pop-culture piggy-slop to pull their fat heads out of the trough, so they'd rather just delude themselves into thinking "it doesn't matter lol, i'm just enjoying myself, it's literally just a bit of fun :) hehe", instead of critically assessing their own habits
for a westoid, treats are an unalienable right, so western "leftists" have to pretend it's a non-issue, just like they like to pretend racism and sexism aren't "real" issues, in order to resolve the cognitive dissonance of being "leftists" who align with capital on everything that is actually present in their day to day life

You getting all menstrual over nothing.
Again this is what Im talking about.
Pseudo intellectuals who think academic tricks are more integral than industrial means.
Even if socialist leaders hired artists to represent their policies, the art is backed up by actions.
And for you to equate real issues like racism and sexism with art is exactly what's wrong with the left.
Maybe some of the anons were correct when they say that communism is not leftism.
Communism is the logical conclusion of leftism but you'd rather stay lingering in libleft crap.
People like you are the ones who hide away from the real world and hide behind "theory".
>>68190690% of all media produced in the west is direct and unabashed glorification of fascism, racism, sexism, imperialism, class domination, violence and eugenics.
You don't notice because you are also all of those things, and your "real world action" amounts to trying to secure your own slice of the imperial plunder from your fellow labor aristocrats and petite bourgeoisie higher up on the ladder.
