Good news! Work is now compulsory, on penalty of imprisonment (unpaid labor).

I regret that they have but one set of shins to break.
Use value is whatever the purchaser gets out of the commodity when they use it. Including looking at a painting they bought. Use value is therefore not restricted to purely utilitarian commodities. It even includes services, non-tangible commodities, etc.
Capitalism is about social relations to production. Art as a commodity is produced for sale. If you're employed by someone to make the art, they provide the supplies and keep the profits from sale, then you are a worker whose job is making art. Proletarian. If you buy your own supplies and do your own selling, you are petite bourgeois like any other owner proprietor. If you employ others to mske the art, e.g. a bunch of prints, you are moving towards a higher rung of bourgeois, moving from petite to just plain bourgeois. In all of these scenarios it does not matter whether the art is "subversive" or challenging, only your relation to its production as a commodity for sale.
War is not always bad, as in something you must oppose any country participating in. The USSR creating a war economy to fight Nazis was good, for example. Wars for national liberation are necessary for that liberation, particularly on the timelines and in the forms needed. Every revolution becomes a war. The violence and deprivation of war is monstrous, and we do not want war, but we also cannot condemn it against our or others' liberation.
So, for example, with Ukraine, it is important to understand that this is not a war with national liberation on one side and Russian belicosity on the other. Ukraine is not sovereign, it was used by NATO powers (following a color revolution where they picked the successor government) to threaten Russia and commit ethnic cleansing against the predominately ethnic Russians in Donbas and is now being used as a toop to try to hurt and distract Russia, not liberate Ukraine. The West promoted the war and then prevented peace, disrupting early attempts to negotiate. Imperialists are now using racist scare tactics to try to increase militarization of Europe at the expense of social programs, which is to say, the material wealth of the general public. Why did NATO ppwers want to isolate and threaten Russia in the first place? Because after the illegal dissolution of the USSR, Russia was designated to be a poor and exploited country, stripped for parts by the West, and its development into a nation capable of resisting this, and becoming a regional power, is considered a threat to the general world order, as Russia is not at the imperialists' table, so its growth and actions are often opposed to those of imperialists.
This is why their logic on Ukraine is wrong. They are accepting cynical racist propaganda about Russia as part of this set of strategies.
Growing the reserve army of labor
but I do want to note that in food insecure places cattle are often one of the only technologies available for increasing calories and nutrition (esp. B12), and cattle can live off of grassland that is unsuitable for farming. Similar to why fishing is so important for Palestine and why the Zionist entity prevents it.
The DSA IC is the least Trot committee and therefore the best one.
It is being liberal cowards who toe the party line while being excluded from the party strategy table. Their role is to sheepdog and that means they eat shit when they inevitably support a reactionary candidate or policy or party line that is likely to get walked back. The alternative would be that they act as real critics or gadflies, but they are comfortably avoiding being so lest they get the Bernie Bro treatment, which is to say, party pushback (as weak as it is!).
They are more right wing than they describe themselves to be, yes, but they do not even allow themselves many opportunities to appropriate the left and create some kind of socdem "resistance" because of this calculus. AOC would love to be the pro-Palestine darling if it didn't mean a direct confrontation with the party machine and donors.
Can? Are they in oil? I usually get chipotles dry, as they are hust dried and smoked red jalapenos.
But either way you can make chili bases that are friendly with oil. Make a salsa roja with chipotle. Make salsa macha. Make red chili sauce base (heat and blend smooth in oil), you can make many dishes with it including classic enchiladas (doesn't even need a filling - just tortillas and sauce).
