The U.S. is dominated by social inequality. A handful of people control the vast majority of wealth. But the media and much of the academic world insist that race and gender, not social class, are the critical divisions in society. This outlook extends to art and culture.
2017 marks the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution, a turning point in modern history, when the working class and oppressed took power for the first time. The lessons of that revolution and its fate have great importance in helping find a way out of the current crisis of culture and politics. Arts and Letters 101.
