It just seems that recently the world has changed for the worse. Maybe the bourgeoisie are putting out "anti-great works of art" that counter the effects of some of these masterpieces.

Patrick McGoohan's "The Prisoner"; Hendrix's late Sixties trilogy; pretty much everything Toni Morrison has ever written; Heiner Mueller's plays; Jan Svankmajer's animation classics; etc. etc. etc. Actually, it's hard to find great works of art nowadays which are *not* deeply and openly politicized (Thomas Pynchon may come close, but there are Silicon Valley tweaks in his stuff, too).
But, of course, my definition of politics is heavily tilted towards the cultural, anyway.
