The exit of the Washington National Opera from the Kennedy Center is a glaring example of how capitalist greed and elitist control suffocate the arts, forcing creativity to bow before the almighty dollar. The center's shift under Trump's shadow, demanding fully-funded productions upfront, is a direct attack on artistic freedom and innovation, crushing any hope for the kind of revolutionary and experimental works that challenge the status quo. This is nothing less than cultural vandalism, waged by the ruling class to ensure that art, a tool of liberation and rebellion, is leashed tightly by the chains of profit and political hegemony.
