I was born a glass baby and nobody picked me up
except to wash the dust off me.
He has picked me up and licked me alive.

The word “art” is something the West has never understood. Art is supposed to be a part of a community. Like, scholars are supposed to be a part of a community… Art is to decorate people’s houses, their skin, their clothes, to make them expand their minds, and it’s supposed to be right in the community, where they can have it when they want it… It’s supposed to be as essential as a grocery store… that’s the only way art can function naturally.

It’s interesting how I think the average person does have the basic intuition that a society structured around profit is wrong, but they’re surrounded by so much ideological mystification it’s possible for that to never be expressed as anti-capitalism.
