>“Everything is perverted by this civilization, the gentlemen in suits have fouled and besmirched everything. Lithographs and etchings by old dotards like Picasso, Miro, Dali, and others, which are sold in all the stores, have turned art into a huge unclean bazaar. The money they have is not enough, they want more and more. Paintings in oil, in tempera, are not enough; drawings, watercolors, and gouaches are not enough; to make even more money they do their hackwork on stone and put it on sale in hundreds and thousands of copies. They've devalued everything, the bastards. Many of them are burdened with wives and several families, with relatives and friends; they need lots of money. Money, money and the greed for money, guides these wretched old men. Once rebels, they have turned into dirty operators. The same fate awaits the young men of today. This is why I have ceased to love art.”

Can endorse pic related.
>>24687249is the movie any good?
Man his early wannabe revolutionary BS is awful, later he cheated up a bit. Some of his early Putin era writing was actually funny. I don't know why people in the west are so hellbent on discovering some secret avant-garde ideology directing things behind the scenes. Russian nationalism is proudly anti-intellectual. As far as it accepts any ideology it is only on the basis that Russia is right.
>>24687342No. The book is significantly better
>>24687468i liked ben whishaw in cloud atlas tho
>>24687517The actor is good and really looks like the young limonov, however, in the movie his entire biography has been boiled down to "how i got buggered by a negro in new york."
>>24687683Was it Chris or Johnny? I hope it was Johnny
>>24686638I'm russian marxist. Limonov was a narcissistic pseud petite bourgeoisie that pretended, in Debord's "Spectacle" meaning, to be revolutionary; it was nothing but a spectacle, a farce. He didn't had proletariat class position to understand proletariat, nor to be revolutionary. Nobody outside of Saint Petersburg and Moscow knew him. His current day party is preoccupied with literal skinheads that get raided by OMOH on a regular basis. Notice how he does not say anything of value in your green text: it's just "le capitalism...turns everything into commodity!" presented as some sort of revelation, and idiotic hate towards art.His books are also pretentious wankery of petite bourgeoisie getting high on his own farts. Don't bother. If you want marxism and capitalism critique, just read Fromm, Althusser, Gramsci, Debord, Fisher, etc.
>>24686638>you can buy things in stores>the west has fallen>art has fallen
