Art is not about
the musings of a middle class dreamer or the exaggerated pontificating of an
upper class gallery owner. Art is not something unattainable or always
unaffordable for the working classes as capitalism would like us to think. Art
is the concentrated expression of humanity, in all its sickness and all its
health.
Art is not a
secondary issue to revolutionary socialists who set themselves the task of
changing society. Understanding and then harnessing art and the artist for the
struggle against capitalism is key to inspiring a new generation.
