no no NO! how fucking disappointing....not you, too...! sex is NOT a commodity!!!

Anybody in this comment section smoke weed

Jesus Christ, Is this done just to spite sex-workers? What the fuck.

the word "rehabilitation" gives me the creeps for sure\

Goddamnit you're fucking right. Listening to this podcast made me so angry is the best possible way. Opressing marginalized people under the cover of "decency" or whatever is pure fucking evil.

come on, this is sooo not true, in a way that people who defend trans rights are often not defending workers rights at all (it is even corporatist strategy), but still you right to some extend

Abolishing capitalism and building socialism will consist of workers in their workplaces and industries getting together to improve and take ever increasing and finally total control over their industries, transforming them and likely making them totally unrecognizable in the process. Many sex workers are repulsed by the exclusionary "leftists" they see misunderstanding and seeking to control them, just like everyone else tries to. Thankfully sex workers don't need leftists they already organize better than many other industries outside of the traditional labour relations framework. SWERFs please consider a new hobby. Fun fact: almost every ""anti-traffiking"" organization is just a newly renamed anti-prostitution org, often religious. Fuck the nordic model and FOSTA/SESTA they literally do the opposite of what they say they intend, they put workers at greater risk and poverty and precarity, as fucking par for the course.

Pulling at a thread from last week's episode, we look at a round up of panicked and outraged takes on how Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's victory will spell doom for socialism, doom for democrats and/or an all out race war, depending on which crank you ask.
