On this day, 3 June 1924, Jewish socialist Czech author Franz Kafka died of tuberculosis in Austria. A prolific writer, his short story Metamorphosis was a damning critique of how society treats the ill and disabled, and The Trial, his most famous work, is a masterful condemnation of state bureaucracy: hence the term “Kafka-esque”.
This is an interesting article about his politics and connections with the Czech left libertarian movement: https://libcom.org/library/franz-kafka-libertarian-socialism https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1441507962701016/?type=3
