| Popis | The offence of social parasitism was a typical institution of criminal law in socialist Czechoslovakia. Through its criminal regulation, the obligation to work (one of the characteristics of totalitarian states) was enforced. Social parasitism was committed by those who avoided proper work for a long time and who, at the same time, made a living in a way which was back in the time considered unfair or illegal. Typical perpetrators included prostitutes, property crime offenders, beggars, homeless people, gamblers or, last but not least, people who let someone else support them – typically people who had succumbed to alcohol addiction or newly adult individuals who did not enter the workforce and continued to be supported by their parents. To some extent, the communist regime used social parasitism to bully its opponents, taking advantage of the fact that the state was a de facto monopoly employer and could fire people from their jobs and refuse to employ them for no good reason. |
