So... Sounds like the health insurance companies, the companies that buy and redistribute intellectual properties for profit, and the general for profit systems are the problem?

How do less popular artists support themselves if they can't sell their intellectual property?

How do they support themselves now? Usually by having another income stream, or not very well...

Though I'm not suggesting they should give away their work for free. I'm saying they should maintain rights (and consequently royalties) to their work.

Regardless, we preferably would remove capitalism outright and work towards a future where artists can pursue their art for its own sake. Everything else is a bandaid.

And no one on the left is advocating for a system where doctors would not be getting paid for their work under capitalism.

Huh?

You can advocate for a different system while also acknowledging that things can't be ideal right now.
