The conditions may be, but the development itself isn't, and the prior work which that development references and depends on likewise isn't (and had political conditions of its own quite possibly unrelated to the present ones).

Even if so, that's a different claim from the content being political.

its not not-political

Sure, like Earl Gray tea is tinged by what you're listening to. It tastes a bit different if you have Beethoven on versus Miles Davis. Therefore, although tea obviously isn't musical, it's not non-musical, either.

Both the music and the tea are produced by and through market capitalism which depends on a particular configuration of the state to operate efficiently, ie politically. Its just the case that the most efficient configuration is also the one beyond politics.
