    I think the ultimate goal is to destroy art in general because it has always been a majour driving factor for progressive social change (at least since the Renaissance), because art is about critically reflecting on our society and our environment.

      I’ve got news for them. all they’re doing is removing the monetary viability of art, which actually works against them and their current tax evasion practices.

      progressive art doesn’t need a buyer, or a gallery. progressive art only needs an audience, and when everyone is jobless and destitute there will be a large captive audience that is sympathetic to progressive art and its message.

        Yeah, I also think this attempt will ultimately fail. They probably think it could work, but these people are not known for being particularly smart.

        It could still divert some people from the right “path” (learning to appreciate good art though), which makes me a bit sad.
