A joke in the loose sense, perhaps. But the use of irony to skewer and reveal is nearly a lost art, I think. It was more in that vein to me and such things are apart from *jokes*.

A Modest Proposal was not a "joke". It was a cry against all that was evil. It was satire- which is to jokes as Pate de foie gras is to liverwurst.
