Doesn Communism stifle creativity?
The best answer to this is to list some of the major cultural figures of the last century who were Communists: Sean O Casey, Pablo Neruda, Nazim Hikmet, Paul Robeson, Nicholas Guillen, Mikail Sholokov, David Siqueros, Picasso, Bertolt Brecht, Tina Modotti, and many more. There have been a number of important writers and other cultural figures who were members of the CPUSA: W. E. B. DuBois, Hugo Gellert, Robert Minor, Meridel LeSuer, Thomas McGrath, Theodore Dreiser, Dashiell Hammett, Michael Gold, Walter Lowenfells, and others.
