==Liberalism and art==
[[Liberals]] use art to express their [[political]] views, hoping to gain extra protection for their political speech by claiming that it is not really political but merely "artistic expression". This has been used to defend [[hate speech]] in the case of an art exhibit in the 1980s which invited museum goers to step on an American Flag and then record their opinions in a journal.

In 2008, visual artist [[Shepard Fairey]] utilized [[Socialist]] propaganda poster aesthetics to create the infamous [[Barack Obama]] "HOPE" campaign poster. Fairey's work has long employed visual elements directly referencing Soviet imagery, styling and color palettes. This iconographic image became synonymous with Obama's presidential campaign, despite claims by the [[Associated Press]] that Fairey had illegally stolen the original image from their photo archives.
