Why do artists with socialist views always make the best art?

greater empathy = love for humanity = in touch with emotions better = discipline to make people genuinely feel something through music

socialism is about everyone being equal, so i guess socialists are better at understanding people and emotions and stuff; and the best music knows how to target emotions. right wingers/conservatives/capitalists just love dad rock
Name me some 'socialist' classical or jazz artists, bro.

i think most people hold some sort of socialist sentiment even if they dont realise it, so art and music that sticks it to the man resonates well with people.

Any heavy album worth its weight in art should be an enlightening experience.
because it's the only art our culture accepts. we'll look back on the social blunders of complete equality when we get even a tenth closer to it

Not interesting in the slightest, besides providing a very simplistic and mediocre history lesson. You might as well have just said "blacks are oppressed, therefore socialist" because that is ultimately the conclusion of this artificial, which overlooks so many actual details and nuances from the past of music.
