Anti-Capitalist artists are the worst of the worst hypocrites.
Out of one side of their mouths, they despise and decry "Capitalism", and simultaneously out of the other, are jealous guarders of their own money, and total understanders of their own economic needs and not being, "cheated" out of "their money".
This child like and mind-blind inability to reason outside the fragile shaking matchbox of their world view is deeply troubling. The expectation...naïve expectation...is that anyone who can create fine art must have a broad intelligence and not a narrowly focussed one, is very childish and stupid.
What is the explanation for the ignorant double standards of these people? Who can say.
Some would certainly say that the "creative side" of the brain, being over emphasized, blots out the rational side...but I don't buy this.
All I can say is that it is deeply dissapointing that people who can think (apparently) and who have powerful imaginations cannot extend their powers to reality, simple arithmetic and economics.
