- Art's negative and destructive nature is beneficial to society as it leads to reflection which leads to decreased oppression.
- 2 types of oppression
- 1. Necessary oppression:the kind and amount of repression that is necessary in all social orders to carry on existing. An
example would be denying yourself a portion of a harvest, even though you are hungry, to allow enough seed for next year's
planting.
- 2. Surplus oppression:the kind of repression that is put into place to protect the favored positions of rulers,
enlisted to prevent a rise against authority and overthrowing the rulers.
- Human progress is achieved by elimination of surplus repression while simultaneously reducing necessary
repression through technological advance. This is accomplished by art tapping into repressed desires which
invokes opposition to necessary repression and thereby fuels the fight against surplus repression. (Art
expresses opposition which leads to revolution which leads to freedom from surplus repression through
transcendence-imaginary leap beyond the given social world into the conception of what should be or could
potentially be)
