I always find it ironic that many of the people who push socialist values the hardest are the least likely to contribute to a socialist society in any meaningful way.

The first paragraph really describes the radical version of agricultural Communism that was popularized in Cambodia. Everyone farms, you eat if you farm enough.
What people don't realize is that for that system to work then you have to eliminate anything but rudementary education, I mean whats the point? You don't need a degree to farm.
Its funny with the art concept because the most subtle protests in the Soviet Union against Communism were pushed through poetry. The Soviets took a great deal of pride in art and sports and music not because it somehow served the Soviet State, but because it salved a national inferiority complex.
In true Agricultural Communism or Socialism there are no artists, there are only farmers, government workers or soldiers to enforce the rule of law.
