This is a short story (5pg) by Italian writer Giovanni Verga. I have read a lot of his work, including two novels which I will be posting soon, and he always writes more like a socialist than a normal writer, which is why I have posted, and will continue posting, his work. This story attacks the repressive foundations and support of the capitalist state, i.e. laws, courts, and "law enforcement" (otherwise know as dirty fucking pigs). This short quote from the story best explains what it is about, and I would even say that this statement is the foundation on which the story was written:
“Law is made for them who've got money to spend.”
This may be a short story, but it is very expressive, and an effective attack on, and condemnation of, the hypocritical state, and all it's repressive entities, which aim to grind the lower classes into the dust, while enriching and caring for the wealthy. Enjoy comrades:
