At the end the problem Of power is
then cut into. Spiritual power
alone, about which the reformist

Bernard Shaw--Fool of the Bourgeoisie

copy of Plato's "Republic" as a part
ing gift, but a revolver and hundred
Understand cartridges"
All social pacifists who wish to see
socialism brought about by purely
spiritual" means may confidently
write these sentences of Shaw in their
albums.
The 'Fool" Of the Boureeoisie. =
How, then, is it possible, many will
perhaps ask themselves, that a man
who utters such truths can be an
author esteemed by the bourgeoisie
and played in bourgeois theaters?
The riddle is solved if we recall that
Shaw is "a comedy writer, that he ut
tiers all of his unpleasant remarks in
the form of apparently unobligatory
tests. One recalls the fool in Shakes
peare's plays. This fool, under the
protection of his cap and bells, could
say things out openly the mere hint
Of which would have cost the head Of
anyone speaking seriously. 1t is just
the same with Charlie Chaplin's social
satire. And tho both artists have GER
tain bourgeois evils, antiquities and
deviations in common, the destructive,
anti-bourgeois effect Of their best
work remains untouched.
To conclude. Shaw is the Shakes
pearean fool of later bourgeois Gull
ture. But, said Lenin In connection
with the remark reproduced above,
may Shaw be a buffoon for the bour-
geoisie, for the revolution he is some
thing entirely different. We may
make this sentence of Lenin's more
concrete. Shaw is an enemy OF the
bourgeoisie living in the camp OF the
bourgeoisie. BY his demolition of
bourgeois theology he weakens the
moral authority of the ruling class,
works into the hands of the revolu-
tionary proletariat struggling to over
throw this class.
In doing this it is relatively unim-
portant whether Shaw wants" the
proletarian revolution or whether he
does not want it. Neither did the
great philosophers Of enlightenment
Of the eighteenth century want the
revolution. Nevertheless. they have
become important spiritual wan-break-
ers Of the coming social upheaval.
SIS supposed to. The Fabians, in

nificent in a twofold sense: "ln Eng
land, prince, a gentleman never looks
fact in the face, if it is an unpleas-
ant fact. :"
Measured by this standard, to be
sure, Shaw himself is no gentleman,
either; for, as we have already seen,
he has an outspoken prediction for
the unpleasant facts" of bourgeois
society. Here everything has become
a commodity. But then the essential
content of things and accomplish
ments is distorted in a twofold man.
ner. Let us take the doctor. Under
capitalism he is compelled to sell his
medical services the greatest number
of times and in the most remuneratiVe
form. Shaw formulates it thus: 81
cannot seriously injure my shin with
out forcing upon surgeon the diff
cult self-directed question: Would
not a handful of gold pieces be more
useful to me than this mans leg to
him? Could he not write just as well,
or even better, with one leg than with
two? And the gold pieces would be
so extraordinarily useful to me Just
now. My wife-my dear little ones
the leg may become gangrenous-it is
always safer to operate-he will be
well in two weeks-artihcial legs are
made so well now that they are really
better than natural ones. /. :" This
schism, which arises from the inner
most nature of capitalist society, can
only be done away with, concludes
Shaw quite correctly, thru the social
cation of the medical profession
Until then the medical profession will
necessarily remain what 1t is at pres
ent, "a conspiracy for the exploita-
ton OF the general credulity and
human suffering."'"
