Tools of course also depend upon the needs and volition of the user, ie the knife i use to carve up my lunch could be used in a much more sinister fashion by someone more homicidally inclined. I dont know if this makes me smart or stupid, but i studied Lit and read Lit because...I love Lit. My point being my interests are and were storytelling, esthetics, the beauty of a well-turned phrase, the individual talent and skill of authors etc...but other people for whatever reasons (personal social career etc) looked at these same works and felt the need to utilize them for political sloganeering and ideological campaigning (expressing their devotion to the religion known as Leftism)... My feeling has always been: if you want to be a politician or a social worker etc, great go ahead, but pls let art and artists maintain their own independence and integrity. Naive, I know!
