Fuko Schmelg
Fuko Schmelg (Ferdinand Gustav Konrad Schmelg, 5 June 1865 – 8 September 1910) was an Austrian philosopher and drama writer. As a member of the elitism stream, he severely criticized the Habsburg monarchy, suggesting that the government should not be inherited by a family line and that a state should be ruled by the most intelligent and handsome members of society.[1] He was imprisoned twice – once because of publicly provoking a revolt against the monarchy and the second time because of being accused of homosexuality. Except for the autobiographic drama The Best of the People (Der Beste aus dem Volk), his work was lost as his theatre plays were not accepted well and only their names were preserved. He proclaimed himself to be the champion of the national Austrian card game Schnapsen.[2]
