ZoomeristLeninist

cute, liberal thinking there’s no difference between imperialism, capitalism of a regional power, and socialism

now show me where PRC is “expansionist” and what that nebulous term even means in this context. the US engages in neocolonialism, extracting wealth from the global south and entrapping them in structural loans they can never pay off, while the PRC engages in fair trading and regularly forgives loans that build hospitals, schools, infrastructure, and industry

oo they’re getting scratched

good point. target acquired

if not friend, why friend shaped?

i understand, sorry for being so obtuse. thank you for explaining. you’re right and i definitely need to rethink my stance on this

thank you for being patient in helping me understand this better

yes, i understand that some sex workers are not traumatized, but i disagree that there is sometimes no coercion. under capitalism there will always be economic coercion for the underclasses to work, which is what brings people to sex work. im willing to listen to what sex workers need (and i have) and if thats decriminalization of both sides of the transaction im all for that. but johns are horrible and the act of soliciting prostitution is sexual violence

im sorry that my comment reminded you of ur trauma. perhaps my approach isnt the best way to address the problem, no matter how disgusting johns are

good points. johns and pimps are still reprehensible, but i can see how decriminalization on both sides can be safer/better for sex workers

how do sex workers have customers now? the only difference would be sex workers would have more power over their clientele. this also lessens the power of brokers bc their occupation would still be illegal, as they are a party to solicitation of sex. full legalization is what would give the brokers more power, as it makes their business legal, elevating them to the proper, legal bourgeoisie— paying wages to sex workers while legally extracting their surplus value

?

legalize sex work but have harsher punishments for soliciting prostitution. stop jailing sex workers, instead punish the johns
