I don’t get why fascists are so obsessed with this “hur hur no poet in commune go mine coal” meme when literally every AES states in existence supports arts and cultures, like even DPRK under its extreme embargo are still willing to fund public performers.
And of course, under capitalism there’s no room for (non mass-marketable) arts either: The corporation have no room for poets, go stock shelves.

It’s an extension of the right-wing assumption that the only people who could be communists in The Land of Opportunity :amerikkka: are spoiled, sheltered, suburban failkids with liberal arts degrees who “just want everything for free” because they have “unrealistic expectations” about life from getting too many participation trophies
It’s simpler than that - they hate you, they want to see you suffer, and they think it’s funny and cool when bad things happen to you.
It’s the right-wing trying to square the circle in their head of how there seems to be separate types of communists, but they don’t care enough to look into the historical basis for any of that. They’re trying to understand how there could possibly be Soviet style communists who had ICBMs and this image of weak, university educated soy eating blue hair people. Rather than admit both of these images are stereotypes they invented in their heads, the conclusion they’ve reached is if the soy types believe in communism hard enough, the scary Soviets will materialize already armed with AKs.
