  • pity this monster humanunkind not.

  • Alex understand that "artist" and "revolutionary" are in the same category. Both pretentious, worn as badges, and loftily defined. Arrrrrt croaks, swollen with simple-mindedness and charlatan skins.

  • You Tell IT like It IS ALEX!! Go Alex! FIRE! FIRE!

  • I didn't know being a "revolutionary" meant you had to be preposterously pedantic.

  • RIGHT ON ALEX CALDIERO!

  • Just as marx pulled his writings from the social environment, so do artists.

  • @grabloidian. Oh i didn't read your comment, but I agree with you now that i have. It was funny when i watched this clip that both "revolutionaries" held somewhat liberal/bourgeois conceptions that art should not include the social. That is how the bourgeois like art--It's value is all formal aspects like brushstroke and composition. I like lots of purely formal art, but I was expecting something else from a "revolutionary" panel.

  • I am so very thankful that I have ever met this man. 37:50 - 39:00. The greatest regret I have from Utah is that I never took a class from him. Nevertheless, I continue to learn so very much. Alex Caldiero is so alive to me here: "Capitalism has gotten to your fucking souls!"

  • I would love to see this guy vs. the argumentative 'thinking revolution' guy, he would shut him up ! Next video uvursu!

  • lol artists are so tempermental. Your poem is terrible! and racist, it isn't revolutionary to complain Chinese people can't pronounce some English words. Really that's how capitalism crushes your soul? Chinese women probably made everything you own and whatever you make your art from, you don't even know their names. White people mispronounce my name EVERY DAY they do it on purpose, I don't carry on like that. You confirmed what the other guy said, you use art to show off about yourself.
