I always kind of wanted to translate this, but I don’t think it’s going to happen (DM me if you’re a publisher who disagrees, I guess), so why not share the knowledge: Red Flag, a 1930 collection of proletarian children’s songs by Makikoto Kusuro. https://t.co/O8bP8nNndH https://t.co/q19z1gbbnA

@RichardMedh Hello Richard. We finally identified the source text which Capek copied from! It is "Gikyoku Jinzō-ningen", the translation of "R.U.R." by Itsuo Uga in 1923. https://t.co/wVPGpIbyV7 https://t.co/I0l0oOIV3q
