Sorry, I'm not expressing myself very clearly these days. I haven't had a toke of clarity for a couple of months. In one post I said Artist are a danger to the status-quo because their Artistic vision often reveals our mass psychosis. Then in the next post I said that the Artistic vision of all Civilized Artists will always reflect their Civilized repression. Which is it? Strange to say it's both. Those Artists who feel the repression the most are often the ones who try the hardest to reveal that repression in their Art. My main point was about Freedom however. Simply put; When given the Freedom to do so, Civilized Man has always surrendered his Freedom for the security of Hierarchical Authority. Civilized People talk about Freedom the way Church People talk about Heaven after life. Something that they claim to know all about, yet have never really experienced in this world. Marx's Civilized attempt to simulate an Egalitarian society is futile. Marx chose dielectical materialism with which to analyse the modern condition, because to look closer at the deeper psychotic matrix would have meant examining his own psycho-sexual motivations, and expossing his own delussions. How many Civilized People have the stomach for that? The road to the natural Egalitarian life of the truly FREE must begin somewhere. Perhaps the spineless sissies of Civilization are too gutless to start anywhere but from a purely dielectical and materialistic point.
i get u... yeah, marx was an asshole, a hypocrite, and a racist, but egalitarian societies do work(and offer a great deal of freedom(in most cases)).
