Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Rules:

Absolutely no fascism, right wing extremism, genocide denial, etc.
Unconditional support of authoritarians will not be tolerated
Good faith discussion about ideologies is encouraged, but no sectarianism
No brocialism/sexism
No ableism
No TERFs/ anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric
No racism
No trolling
No insults, dunking, or personal attacks
No posting of misinformation, disinformation, or fake news
Mods have final say

Posting Expectations:

Comics/memes/shitposts/propaganda are only allowed on weekends
Try to avoid liberalism unless discussing electoral politics. Even then, try to focus on tactical agreement towards leftist goals
Only one meta post seeking consensus per person per day
Posts about a particular ideology are ok, but remember the rules above
Remember that there is no “right way” to implement leftist theory. This rule does not prevent academic criticism.
Try to avoid extremely sensitive topics unless approaching them with appropriate care for intersectionality. Use your best judgement, and be prepared to provide respectable sources when having these discussions. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source in these cases.
Post titles must be meaningful and relevant, except on weekends

Can someone suggest me writings and studies on the relationship between fascism and art, and fascism and work ethics? (kbin.social)

Recently I'm seeing more and more fashy people hailing AI "art", and while I might have made a Twitter thread on the subject a year ago, I want to dig deeper in what lies behind the scenes, besides of "woke mind virus", "the transes were mean to my VTuber oshi for plaing the wizard game, billions must die", "artists are not REAL workers, thus they must learn to weld" (which itself can be an art), etc. I want to write an article about the subject.

I personally see and even experience fascistic work ethics on a daily basis (I live in Hungary), however I still need to see the underlying workings, also I can point the readers to further investigate such things. Also I need more context for fascism's relationship to art besides futurism (will be very relevant to geek gatekeeping), marble pillars, and "returning to tradition by honoring the great masters".

Fascism is more about control and there's a lot of pivoting to maintain the appearance of authority. So there is a lot of hypocrisy on topics that are often claimed that they are just totally against. Fascist leaders work with highly regarded artists that will have them or that are forced to work with them. Fascists want to look cool and well put together, so art is crucial to them. Meanwhile they will say art is not a real career and will hate art that doesn't support the latest narrative.

There's not a strict black and white on the fringes of their ideologies, it's more what they can use to increase power.
