SocialistStories حكايات اشتراكية

This is another short satirical sketch by hilarious Czech (anarchist and later bolshevik) writer Jaroslav Hasek. This sketch mocks bourgeois moral crusading, bourgeois religious conservatism, and generally the hypocrisy of the rotten bourgeois. It mainly focuses on a topic I have spoken about before: prostitution. It is interesting to note that while the hypocritical bourgeois in this story are continually condemning "fornication" and seek to fight prostitution by invoking religion, yet they are incapable or unwilling to step down from their undeserved pedestal in society to see that females become prostitutes out of economic necessity, and that to fight for a society in which a woman does not have to sell her flesh to survive we have to eliminate poverty and class. And if a young girl was forced to become a prostitue, and these hypocritical, moralizing bourgeois managed to convice this girl to stop selling herself, the only result would likely be that the young woman would starve to death or commit suicide. Anyway enjoy this satirical sketch comrades:
