On Prostitution and Ways of Fighting it by Alexandra Kollontai (Patreon)

In this episode we examine an important work by the great Russian revolutionary Alexandra Kollontai. Written in 1921 the article 'On Prostitution and Ways of Fighting It' deals with the urgent need for the early Soviet government to tackle the growing problem of prostitution in the early workers republic. By examining this we look at Kollontai's ideas and approach to the question and ask why so many "marxists" appear to have forgotten them.
