Not believing in art for art sake makes you anti- human and I'm not joking, art is a hobby like anything else it's nothing unique or special that's metaphysically elevated for some reason. The act of creating brings joy as does the enjoyment of the creation, that's it's purpose

And no working doesn't make a capitalist collaborator or whatever, it's just you not having a job isn't this really bad thing a lot of people (alot of so called leftists included) want it to be, it's why people call them reactionary

Jumping off this Marx argued that you should have more free time to do the things you enjoy which, is impossible under capitalism, not to mention Marx's praise of the essay "the right to be lazy" which argued workers should fight for a world where this is possible as opposed to less hours alone

Marxist/leftists saying "get a job" and calling people leeches as an insult is so funny because a core tenant of Marxism is that working doesn't contribute to society hence why capitalism is bad. They're giving into capitalist propaganda

Reading left wing history books i.e Chomsky, Parenti etc is fine provided you apply the same critical thought to them as any other work of history. You don't have to read lib shit historically the time to get the facts
