I just had an image of a "Marxist" symphony orchestra -- anyone can participate because everyone is equal.
Have you ever watched 2081? It's a very short film based on Kurt Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron. In this dystopian future, everyone is equal. Strong people have to wear weights, smart people have to wear earpieces that broadcast static to interfere with thought, and attractive people wear masks. Everyone is equal, and it is enforced by law.
