Neither oppression nor repression of the arts ever reach an end.
Whether imposed by historical traditions or through contemporary cultural imperatives, subjection to collectivist thinking in academic and political circles will always plague artists no less than historians and all those who strive for true representations of reality. The purpose is simple: to eliminate utterly the power and value of the individual.
And the artist is nothing if not an autonomous free agent. Nothing more than a lackey, a bootlicker.
Evidence of this is plain and clear. It is not hidden from sight; one need only look at it directly.
There is no end to it. Yet even if there is no winning, there can be no surrender, or all-- and this means all that is essential to cultural reality itself-- is lost.
