Impt. thing to remember is to acknowledge that if you go down this path of Capitalist vs Democratic arts, 99.999% of the existing arts community is going to hate you, even if they say they understand your argument.

Impt. thing to remember is to acknowledge that if you go down this path of Capitalist vs Democratic arts, 99.999% of the existing arts community is going to hate you, even if they say they understand your argument. Being pointed out rationally that your efforts are the opposite of help is a cognitive dissonance storm few are willing to enter let alone pass through. For me there's nothing less. It's like I'm wearing pants and everyone else is naked.

You're clearly my fellow penguin along with Sam mahon, Derek cowie, mike joy...
Degrowth, inward personal "growth", less is less... Are the only ways out of the myopic circle of vested interests.

Barry Thomas no, I'm sorry. Sam Mahon, Derek Cowie, Dr Mike Joy, and even yourself, unless you are practicing and promote your different economy, for all 'good intentions' you are still fundamentally perpetuating Capitalism. Capitalism is the default economy dominating the market place, as a Democratic Socialist Public Welfare Artist, I am not perpetuating capitalism. It's a profound and lonely difference.

Wells Tao it's one thing to think, act and believe that the species has over blown it's self, limits, et al but it's quite another to seek validation within victim-hood.
You're not alone nor do you "Own" your isolation... worn as a badge. The whole species does.

Barry Thomas you are just not listening. Which is fine, but if you want to have a conversation with me about this issue, it would be great if you could engage with what I have said.

I own my isolation and I do wear it as a badge, because I'd love there to be more like me, but until there is I'm not going to pretend. I'm the opposite of victim, but as I initially said, once I've pointed out that you ( and the rest) are still capitalist, it's an automatic victim card that's played... "I'm not a capitalist, I don't have any capitals etc etc.. ."

Everyone who works for Gov. is a Democratic Artist. Everyone who's material existence is reliant on wealth from collected collective wealth, distributed by Gov. is a Democratic Artist. Everything is art, Everyone is an artist, artist of what?) However they must promote this distinction, this role visibly, otherwise Capitalism captures all effort, all work, all outcomes.
