"#Artists. In the development of every individual, #art β the symbolic expression of thoughts and emotions, works of creative imagination β is a basic necessity. Under #capitalism, art is largely the preserve of the rich. The masses, on the other hand, are consigned to the role of consumers of commodified or commercialized art. #Socialism must rescue art from the market and make it available to all as an important component in the development of the whole person."

"To ensure that art becomes the property of the people, instead of the preserve of a few gifted people and those who can afford these creations, the emergence of popular and #accessible forms of art must be encouraged. Cultural groups at the #community level must also be organized so that art can be use for the peopleβs own purposes (i.e. as a means of understanding and recording their own lives and as a way of expressing their own thoughts, feelings and aspirations)."
