U.S. Imperialism Has Lost the Cold War
Art & Culture.
‟Culture is a social phenomenon. Just because of this, language, as the organ of intercourse between men, is its most important instrument. The culture of language itself is the most important condition for the growth of all branches of culture, especially science and art...Yes, culture was the main instrument of class oppression. But it also, and only it, can become the instrument of socialist emancipation.″ —LEON TROTSKY, 1926
