    Our bourgeois, not content with having wives and daughters of their proletarians at their disposal, not to speak of common prostitutes, take the greatest pleasure in seducing each other’s wives.

    Bourgeois marriage is, in reality, a system of wives in common and thus, at the most, what the Communists might possibly be reproached with is that they desire to introduce, in substitution for a hypocritically concealed, an openly legalised community of women. For the rest, it is self-evident that the abolition of the present system of production must bring with it the abolition of the community of women springing from that system, i.e., of prostitution both public and private."

    It’s very funny that they could’ve just said nothing and no one would’ve noticed, it’s not like Americans read books. But by very loudly drawing attention to the fact that THIS DID NOT HAPPEN they’ve Streisand effected it into the public consciousness.

    Still, fuck these authors. They could have dumped this information before it was this big of a problem but didn’t, because book deal.
