Breton's followers, along with the
Communist Party, were working for the "liberation of man." However, Breton's group refused to prioritize the
proletarian struggle over radical creation such that their struggles with the Party made the late 1920s a turbulent time for both.

In an open letter to writer and French ambassador to Japan,
Paul Claudel, the Paris group announced:
- "We Surrealists pronounced ourselves in favour of changing the imperialist war, in its chronic and colonial form, into a civil war. Thus we placed our energies at the disposal of the revolution, of the proletariat and its struggles, and defined our attitude towards the colonial problem, and hence towards the colour question."

René Crevel, signed by
André Breton,

Yves Tanguy, and the Martiniquan Surrealists Pierre Yoyotte and J.M. Monnerot perhaps makes it the original document of what is later called 'black Surrealism',
[11] although it is the contact between
Aimé Césaire and Breton in the 1940s in Martinique that really lead to the communication of what is known as 'black Surrealism'.

Liquid shapes became the trademark of Dalí, particularly in his

modern period, combined with the sense of reaching more deeply into the psyche, to be "made whole with one's individuality".

Many writers from and associated with the
Beat Generation were influenced greatly by Surrealists.
Philip Lamantia and
Ted Joans are often categorized as both Beat and Surrealist writers. Many other Beat writers claimed Surrealism as a significant influence. A few examples include
Bob Kaufman,
Gregory Corso, and
Allen Ginsberg. In popular culture much of the
stream of consciousness song writing of the young
Bob Dylan, c. 1960s and including some of
Dylan's more recent writing as well, (c. mid - 1980s-2006) clearly have Surrealist connections and undertones. In popular culture much of the song writing of
The Beatles reached a more surreal tone during the mid-1960s as psychedelics had entered the public consciousness.

Surrealist groups
- See also Category:Surrealist groups.
Surrealist individuals and groups have attempted to carry on with Surrealism after the death of André Breton in 1966. The original Paris Surrealist Group was disbanded by member Jean Schuster in 1969.
Surrealism and theatre
Surrealist theater depicts the subconscious experience, moody tone and disjointed structure, sometimes imposing a unifying idea.
[23]Antonin Artaud, one of the original Surrealists, rejected Western theatre as a perversion of the original intent of theatre, which he felt should be a religious and mystical experience. He thought that rational discourse comprised "falsehood and illusion", which embodied the worst of discourse.
