Under communism, art flourished. For example, neither Bolshoi Ballet nor Kirow
could ever achieve the artistic excellence they had when they were not "free".
What killed art, was capitalism, or rather a change of goals, from a
spiritual/artistic, to PROFITS FIRST.
Do you think USA has culture?
Please note, that culture is a foundation of every enlightened society.

Anna,
A gold-based economy is yet another topic. For purposes of this
discussion, money is a scorecard for the amount of goods/services
produced. In that sense, capitalism "values" art; artists are
some of the richest people. Are you also trying to say that this
system doesn't value the spiritual? Wrong again. Capitalism
values anything that people value - the more free the market, the
less the difference. If you disagree, please point to
non-capitalist places that have bigger churches or more people
with more time and money to pursue all sorts of traditional and
non-traditional "spiritual" goals.

This would be only correct if money was backed by the real goods.
Otherwise money is as good as the paper it is written one.
This is actually the situation that USA is now in.
What about other values? A good model must also acknowledge
spiritual needs.
Where does an artist fit in your society?
