A Perfect Circle - Annihilation

If in the matter of the political revolution, Wagner was exclusively a theorist, then in the matter of the revolution of art he was initially a practitioner, and a professional practitioner. Wagner knew what he wanted, and offered real means to achieve his goals. The only thing against which he turned out to be powerless is the complete unwillingness of society to work and engage in self-education in order to be able to climb to the top indicated by Wagner. Society preferred to get bogged down in a swamp of degradation even more. Wagner demanded too much a fee to create a paradise on earth, illuminated by the light of high art. But we repeat, Wagner’s reform is not a utopia and detached thinking. These are real goals and real ways to achieve them.
