And you've exemplified the heart of my gripe: There is more to value than economic value.

yes the Superstructure.

Superstructrue is exactly this unmessurable mass that is not "konret" that doesnt have owners , can not be divided or counted etc..

Art is aexample on how it work. Like "who Produces the Art for whom" is the "Relation of Production".. The Flemish Masters painted those tha t could affort their Product the Elite .. therefore the Art from this era is filled with many many Ruler and Aristocrat Paintings , showing their Welth and Power... In the Sowjet Union the Painting where comissend by the working class (or in a working class Ideology) the Painting therefore Depict Socialist Themes etc. "Collectivism / Struggle / Classwar" ...,

and dont forget the Mirror relation <--->the other Art the "rebell" side of art is also shaped by the "Base" , even if it critizes it , it will critize its base..

Btw this "superstructure and Base" thing is the "Dialectical and Historical Materialism" .. very usefull concept to analyse the world with. Its like the "Atom of the Process" .. there is always a "Base Need" that will shape "its Superstructure" ....

Crimea is Ukrainian in western ( "Superstructure") .. but certainly not in the messurable and touchable Soil ("Base" ) .

and as Base shapes the Supersturcture --> every day that passes without Crimea beeing owned by Ukraine --> it belongs to Ukraine a little less --> until its gonna be like California and Mexico <-- --> And the Mirror relation is Ukraine know about this ! --> therefore wants to retake it (in Soil & Base) ,

Not in the "Superstructure" ,in here Ukraine owns it allready , so there is no Issue .. the Issue again .. stems as always . from the Base ... that is Russia "actually" owning it.
