I do think you're a little harsh here, but yes an automod feature is sorely needed. I did see some rumblings about making one a few weeks ago on another instance, not sure if they've made an progress though
I mean I take personal offense as a woman at saying women should be able to be rented, sex for profit, commodification of the feminine form and calling that comradely and calling upholding the contrary Marxist view bigotry but go off.
Smattering of electoralists there too, much gnashing over who or if they should voooote this next election.
Are sex workers not workers?
And I think everyone would agree that a developed socialist society would support everyone to the point where no one feels economically compelled to engage in sex work. Hexbear recognizes that unde capitalism sex work is usually exploitative, similar to how most other work is exploitative.
Your comment didn't come off as rude, and it looks like we agree on quite a bit. But honestly you're responding to a lot of things I didn't say -- I didn't suggest anything like an "anything goes" approach to sex work, and I pointed out how exploitative it usually is.
Ignoring AES states' policies is chauvinistic, but treating them as infallible is dogmatic and unscientific. AES states themselves acknowledge their past shortcomings and seek improvements.
In the immediate context of trying to build socialism in a capitalist society, I think the best approach is to meet sex workers with tools that are immediately useful, like unions (which do exist for sex workers) and legal protections. Telling them that they are involved in evil and ideally their work wouldn't exist doesn't offer them anything within their grasp, and can come across as preachy.
I’ve seen someone (male) mentioning they were a virgin and lonely and several posters encouraged them to rent a woman with one mentioning having done so themselves in the past.
You got any receipts for that?
I just said I think it's a little harsh, there's no need to pop off at me comrade. I prefer lemmygrad for a reason
Not popping off at you. Sorry if I gave that impression. Simply giving my take and justification including expanding on it.
it's ok, just fyi it was this part that made me think you were popping off
We won’t. That’s why I want a post pinned, whole reason I made this post. Still, that in particular is not true, vast majority of people on there will dunk on you for shitting on AES
Yeah I’ve been here, and on Hexbear the same amount of time, and they’re both kinda similar. There is def more people who aren’t explicitly ML on Hexbear, but most are. They all seem to love Cuba, and I’ve never seen anyone shit on AES nations. Sure they’re not as hardline, but it’s not as bad as people are making it out here imo. Though I do totally understand the worry! Just don’t entirely agree with the assessment on Hexbear. I’m ML, just to be clear.
