news
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

My original comment was about whether or not sex work is part of human nature and therefore inevitable and necessary. I don’t agree with that. Communism would revolutionize not just the conditions of work, or the distribution of wealth, but the nature of work itself would change. There might be people trading sex for other things within a communist society, but its character would be completely different because not embedded in class society nor generalized commodity exchange. This isn’t some random tangent or extrapolation, it’s the point of my original comment, and I did a bad job seamlessly switching between an abstract discussion of communism and the more concrete situation with China banning OnlyFans.
I agree with most things you said, and disagree with parts of it / how you read my comment, but I don’t have the energy to tease those apart, so I’ll just leave it. Genuinely sorry if I made some insensitive arguments, I’ll reflect on it some more
