Lux in Tenebris by Bertolt Brecht

This is a very short, one act play by Bertolt Brecht, and it is about prostitution. Brecht basically mocks and satirizes bourgeois hypocrisy in regards to prostitution, i.e., the bourgeoisie are the biggest public critics of prostitution, and use the most moralizing and idiotic arguments against it, while at the same time being the ones who ran/run brothels, and who have always been the main “clients” of prostitution. Of course we, as socialists, feminists, and decent fucking human beings, should be against prostitution, but NEVER should we use the same kind of moralizing (and most often religious bullshit is included) as the hypocritical bourgeoisie, nor should we EVER put ANY of the blame on the working women themselves, who are exploited brutally, and as is mentioned in this play, are often infected with sexually transmitted diseases by the pieces of shit who defile them. Anyway, enjoy the play comrades:
