>>144068Hence "more or less".
There are some exceptions (how much of a committed Nazi was Leni Riefenstahl, or was she just awed by Hitler's charisma? Will we ever know?) but it's really not a worldview that's conductive to art. I don't understand why. You could say "totalitarian ideology" but there were so many great artists and writers in the Soviet Union.
I vaguely got it after reading Max Nordau's works on degeneracy that ended up being the basis of the Third Reich's cultural criticism.
He was basically a guy in youtube comments that goes "ANYONE can draw this ABSTRACT SHIT, this takes no talent, art is DEAD". Turns out if these people run a whole country they output uninspiring garbage.
