... " the American ruling class has finally, like Oscar Wilde’s Dorian Gray, found a figure that accurately displays its corruption in all its grotesque dimensions. " I like that. Oscar Wilde was a socialist in his time . If he could see a Donald Trump today in the White House , he might have a vision of "the soul of man under capitalism ". Art would make it resemble " The Picture of Dorian Gray ". In the novel Dorian Gray is busy " always seeking new sensations " and ruining virtuous souls . The young Trump was perfect for the role of Dorian Gray. Persecuted as a homosexual, Oscar Wilde was super-sensitive to social injustice.
