      Do they not realize that the biggest gatekeepers of creativity is Adobe and any apps like them? Quite literally in their perfect world, only the rich get the luxury of having art as a career, and your boss will overwork you well into the weekend so you will never have the time to do art if the cost doesn’t stop you.

      Ah yes one of the classes Marx wrote about, proletariat, bourgeoisie, artist.

      DPRK is a removedd worker’s state - just look at the symbology: juche-WPK. The ARTISTS (depicted by the brush tool from MS Paint) are above all!

      Edit: the auto-filter removed a Trotskyist term. That’s a sectarianism!

        Petty bourgeois extract labor value from others, small-scale artisans are generally not petty bourgeois unless they have assistants or something.

          not necessarily, the petite bourgeoisie also include those who own and work their own means of production, which would include self-employed artisans.

            Not so, if you own and work your own means of production but don’t profit from others’ labor value, you’re just a yeoman by another name

        Highly doubt most of the people drawing furry porn for rich guys these days are living a luxury lifestyle of eating caviar and having sex with models in Manhattan or shaking hands with MBS over oil deals

          don’t need to be wealthy, it’s about your relationship to the means of production. Petite bourgeoisie just own and work their own means of production. Small business owners can’t afford that lavish shit either

      The artists have been hoarding the products of their labor for far too long, finally we can democratize their work
