No need to clarify why this is a problem, but to go the distance, I might mention the random fact that human civilization is only traceable and re-discoverable through what it leaves behind. In other words, what actually MAKES human societies into "Civilizations" is Art & Technology in general, not economy or politics.
Art is the seed for revolution and the consciousness of humanity, When it dies in a society, it leaves that society solid-coloured, complacent and void.
The oppression of artists is the oppression of people in general. Keep that in mind.
