It was an expression of the right-wing tendencies in Marxism-Leninism. The good stuff was the early avant-garde shit.

everything must be in its right place.

have you considered that a study of "liberals" vs "conservatives," IE, two different aesthetic flavors of fascism, will not yield useful material for analysis of art under actual socialism?
Jackson Sullivan
What do you imagine socialist art to be like? Not the socialist realist trash, right?
Jack Garcia
Kill yourself petty booj sophist.
Socialist realism was and is fantastic. If you don't like it, you don't like socialism.
Marxists are dialectical materialists. We must uphold a materialist outlook in all areas including art. Of course there is room for abstraction and art communicating in abstractions, but we need Marxist materialist, scientific abstractions, which sets limits on abstraction– it needs to have real content. The "avant garde" CIA-funded mindfucks of the past century are absolutely empty trash. There was certainly good abstract art produced during the whole history of the USSR (even state sanctioned under Stalin!), but overbearing abstraction opens the door to idealism, and good abstractions are not somehow superior to good realism.

I remember there was also a study that showed that toddlers who were more afraid of harm and more strongly reacted to pain were far more likely to end up being conservatives as adults.
It just goes to show the underlying psychology behind the majority of right-wing brains is that of a weak child who wants a big, strong father figure to protect them from danger, real or imagined.
The biggest issue with these studies is the political broad-stroking with the categorization. I don't believe for one second that the psychology of SJW anarchists is the same as the often actually reactionary third world talkies, or that libertarians have a similar psychology to textbook fascists, pipeline aside.

essentialism of the brain is fine but you have to also remember nogs and other poc not only have less voluminous brains, but less convoluted brains as well

Its a first worldist illness. The scariest thing is that you people don't realize this is not out of the ordinary, this is just the true nature of first-worldists.
