This thread is just repeated (for decades at this point) arguments over the base and super structure, and which one is ruling which. I take a middle stance. I don't think cultural revolution can actually solve material problems of property relation, but changing culture (in a way that I suppose could be called revolutionary) is absolutely necessary for instilling class consciousness to get the material organization going to change those conditions. I go back and forth on how much cultural productions actually do that (we're seeing a ton of cultural production around BLM right now, but is that driving the protests or the other way around, or it's both etc.)
