Besides 💰and 👁️ *

Why doesn’t the left do a propaganda like the Barbie movie or those two White-Supremist country songs?

Imagine Barbie but with class-consciousness. With all the basically free high-production tools and talent on the left, is it not possible?

*Or is it that simple?

You bring up some interesting points.

Did you know that the CIA funneled huge amounts of cash into making modern art as a response to Soviet realism?

Did you know that the CIA also had its hand in cultivating the post-Marxist left?

I'm going to respond to OP in a top-level comment soon with some reading recommendations about how modern art is a CIA op or, at the very least, the CIA pushed modern art into the mainstream via massive amounts of monetary support. You might be interested in reading some of the books that I mention.

    Ooh I knew that modern art was an op but not about post-Marxism. I'll check for your comment to read up more. Thanks for sharing!

    No worries.

    Gabriel Rockhill is a dissident post-poststructuralist (i.e. he is schooled in post-structuralism [by big names such as Derrida, Iragary, Badiou and Balibar no less]) and he has arrived at a place where he is very critical of the movement and its origins.

    While I never studied poststructuralism anywhere near as much as he did, I arrived at basically the same conclusions before discovering his stuff so naturally I find his arguments compelling.

    You can find more articles by him here and he also has a YouTube channel here which has some good lectures in there if you want to learn more about his takes.
