Keeping the audience in mind when you're making it is important, as it helps you phrase it in a way that will land. But the art itself is a transmission from you to them, not a repetition of what they already know they want.

All it takes is one government that actually invests in social services and shows that there's plenty for everyone, the solution is to tax the rich, and this number halves. The problem is the ruling class don't want to do that.
