Definitely can appreciate creative drives over money vibes. A lot of people will say what is the point? I think the main point is to not be a dickhead. It can seem selfish to want to just make art for the sake of it. Also a lot of people feel that art is too wanky or stupid in itself. All of these criticisms are worthwhile but the real issue that people miss is just to let people do what they want to do. This to me is better than just thinking I need to get paid for this so I can hit the property market or build a big portfolio.
Also I am not saying that building a financial portfolio is bad or wanting to profit from art is bad, or trying to make money is bad. I am saying in the tides of social reasoning you need to let people make their own way in the world. Rather than say oh but you need this or that to validate your position, just support people. Yet the social bonds are normally too binding, the other issue can be that people just don’t care either. They are so burdened by their own issues that they can’t think outside of their world.
In a lot of ways when people do criticise you they do mean well, it is just frustrating to hear the neo liberal mindset that money will cure your problems. Everyone knows it doesn’t but people do have goals. They normally involve moving up in the world. Yet for all of the moving up the things you really wanted to do are not happening. Maybe that is a good thing for most people. For example maybe I shouldn’t be making art or writing or doing anything creative. Maybe I am just making a small racket that is not worthwhile.
Yet overall it can’t be helped. Art is a risk if you do it in a certain way that means you have to either make it marketable and attractive or be in the circles where you can get into a market. Something Frank Stella said is art is a pyramid with a small few at the top and a lot at the bottom. I am not suggesting we flatten the pyramid because people need competition and challenges but all of those people at the bottom are the foundation. I guess my ideas are pure Communism but that’s how I see it.

Communism as it is collectively known today is a socio-political imposition. A tool used by powerfull souless creeps to now hollow out and destroy nations. 1917 was its finest hour. Unfortunately when you say communism, people relfexively call to mind their prefab concepts that were drilled into them through culture and not what the potential of such a word could mean outside of this small historical definition. So yes you are a communist and no you are not a communist. I like the word communalism but as we discussed it was just semantics really.
