"Art can neither escape the crisis nor partition itself off. Art cannot save itself. It will rot away inevitably as Grecian art rotted beneath the ruins of a culture founded on slavery unless present-day society is able to rebuild itself. This task is essentially revolutionary in character. For these reasons the function of art in our epoch is determined by its relation to the revolution." - Leon Trotsky, 1938

"Rise like lions after slumber - In unvanquishable number - Shake to earth your chains like dew -
Which in sleep had fallen on you - Ye are many - they are few." Percy Shelley
