>LOL our capitalist guy who promised to take his works to the grave posting them on DA for free to prove that communism does not work.


Well, if you weren't so dense, you'd remember that I don't post guro art because I don't trust people like you not to spread them around. Non-guro art comes with a different set of conditions, and I don't worry about it in the same way.

And for sure, whether or not I post this art for free has nothing to do with communism working or not. Communism is currently giving me nothing and doing nothing for me, and I am not putting art on dA out of any communist ideal. At best it could be called altruism, at worst it's self-interested promotion.

>Regardless of why those artworks were produced they still end freely available and get posted by the artist. even if they were commissioned by someone else or paid by some company it does not matter because they are still free.


My point is that whether or not they're free for someone like you to see, they didn't get created for you, and they didn't get created in any kind of idealistic spirit of communism. Without capitalistic motivations, a lot of that art would not have been made, and if your communist system were to take everything over, it's my contention that a lot of artists would lose any reason for posting art, and the end result would be less art, overall, for you to look at.

>How is publishing related to the private work for some rich guy who ordered you to make few pictures at the market price?


Because it would likely result in the same kind of submission process. Publishers who are known to be looking for artists have editors and offices that take in and judge the work of hopeful applicants; if things get to that point, the wealthy would likely have people sending their portfolios and submissions directly to them, or their representatives. It'd be the same kind of process whether someone was trying to be hired by a corporation, or by some rich dude.

This is part of the reason why your attitude of getting art for free and trying to discourage artists from selling their work is so toxic: You're not going to wipe out the large corporations doing any of this, your actions affect mostly independent artists working for themselves. If you make it impossible for artists to sell work themselves, then the logical next step is for those artists to go to big businesses or wealthy individuals to generate an income. And this goes not just for illustration art, but for music and videos and any other creative medium - it's the indie folks that take the biggest hit while the large companies have the resources to last far longer.
