    how should we pay for those people to be educated?

    We don’t have to “pay” to be educated outside of the capitalist system. “Paying” for education is a capitalist thing. In fact, most places outside of the US don’t expect people to pay to be educated. Even within capitalism, various people have found ways to make education and healthcare a public service. Imagine that…

    Who should we choose to create things?

    People who want to choose it themselves?

    What should we do with everybody else?

    “We” don’t “do” anything with other people.

      Well, no. Paying professors isn’t free. Some places just hide their salaries in their tax money. But sure. Everyone gets education (I agree with this). Some people choose to be artists and… I guess they just fend for themselves?

      Now, let’s be absurd. Pretend I’M a artist. I made a blank canvas, and I’m willing to sell it.

        They laugh at your notion of money but you do you bro, they invite you home to share some of the excess of food that has been harvested by the people that had an honest desire to feed their fellow humans, instead of… getting power through making art?
