Opposing the sex industry is a common and principled left stance. It is only in capitalist countries where their cops are funded to harrass people and Johns are rarely punished where there has been a need for a "sex work is work" movement.
In countries run or established by communists, they were often facing racial or otherwise imperialist systemic rape ("comfort women" for Japanese imperialists, for example), recognized how this worked in both slavery and "transactional" capacities, and correctly banned it. Things like erotica were swept up in this total purge of marketing sex, and enforcement is inconsistent as it is usually regional.
Please so your best to educate yourself, be accurate in your summaries, and to not be sinophobic.
Sex workers are workers, end of story.
I understand you Americans have fucked up views on sex workers and treat them like shit, but that is on you.
Also Australia women were taken as comfort women by Japan, and yet we still legalise and protect our sex workers.
If your mom had to start working as a prostitute from now on, would you think this is ok because all work is work?
If she had to do that because she had no choice? That would be horrible. If she started an OnlyFans because she enjoyed the attention, I’d be embarrassed, but good for her.
if you're doing it for fun you're not exchanging money
this is mental gymnastics
If I have a job I love, I still get paid ;) this is not mental gymnastics.
it's not mental gymnastics because listen to this hypothetical
I have been listening to your hypotheticals the entire time
I don't think you're following the conversation closely so I'll repeat myself:
Work isn't coercive because I can imagine someone who enjoys their job.
Homelessness is fake.
You think homelessness is fake? Are they NPCs to you? I did not predict that you would go full Elon, but I have a lot of popcorn so please continue
You're too stupid to mock
Who’s mocking. I’m being very serious. I want to hear more about how homelessness is not real
Some brains are smoothier than others
Yup. I know it’s hard for you to understand, but thanks for trying.
