All artists are asked the question:

– Where do you get your ideas?

The revolutionary artist responds like this:

– I steal them from the rich and give them to the poor

How does an artist view the world?

He decides whether to steal this thing, whether it is a landscape outside the window or an element of another artist's painting, whether it is an excerpt from a book or an event from a dream.

That's it. I don't need more than that.

Looking at the world in this way, the socialist artist removes bourgeois morality. He doesn't think what's good and what's bad. There is only that which is worthy to be shown to the working people in their drawings, or, on the contrary, is unworthy because of the commonplace, obvious or false.

Today, artists can use everything. But not everyone can be useful to him. And if, in the opinion of the Communist party, something is not worth taking today, then tomorrow, in a month or a year it may be quite suitable.

Bourgeois writers, such as Jonathan Lethem, say that if people call something "original", then in nine cases out of ten they simply did not calculate the source of borrowing This is partly true, because people tend to learn and learn about the world. And you – dear artist, actress, writer and other "heads of the nation" are probably not the first in their work.

After all, every person once fell in love, because so much has been written about love. There have been so many wars that there are already thousands of books about them, if not millions. There were also billions of beautiful sunsets and sunrises on earth, and people saw them as soon as they appeared. And as soon as we got to the level where we could draw pictures, we started drawing them. That's why there are hundreds of thousands of sunset pictures.

Every bourgeois artist understands that if you write about something radically new, it may not sell. Therefore, in the creative industry, artists rely on what was created earlier. Almost always they don't have anything original.

These enemies of the working people are right. However, they assume that if you do something new-the result of production will be difficult to sell. We proceed from the benefits for the working people. If we do something new, it may not be of high quality or even harmful, and this is unacceptable.
