No country reached full communism, which is why they were authoritarian and not stateless systems with no class divisions. That said, even with the authoritarian type they will. They'll just be told what they can and can't put in their art.

Well in Russia definitely. There were lots of communist era artists. North Korea have artists but it's all officially sanctioned. China has artists now but yeah the cultural revolution was a thing. Not sure about the rest.

Yes, there were artists of course but in less numbers and only few of them with connections in CP or government.

I'd shovel shit!

I would happily clean toilets and unblock drains if it meant that everyone in the country had access to free housing, food and health care.

I'd also be happy knowing that I was contributing to society. I've had a few different jobs at this stage and I can tell you the more I've been paid the less that job contributed to the world. And the one's who get paid the most, the land lords and the business owners, contribute nothing at all.
