MODERATORS
this is something i'm quite convinced you'll never produce a consensus on except in the most particular of crowds.
"work in nonconsensual, sexwork cannot be consensual" is a fairly impenetrable logic, and people decide from that from sexwork must be illegal because nonconsensual sex is wrong.
or you can separate an economic imperative a bit from sexual consent and concede that reality doesn't align perfectly with what we'd like. i'd never tell someone who believes their sexwork to be consensual that it actually wasn't because of the abstract construction of the economy, myself. i also won't advocate for hounding people selling sex with cops, even if they're Good Socialist Cops. if things are ever so good that sexwork need not exist, i don't think there'd be any reason to criminalize it, because nobody would partake. it was an exercise in obscene idealism for the Soviet Union to pretend prostitution couldn't exist so long as deficiencies existed in the economy, and it will continue to be until a socialist economy makes the fulfillment of everyone's needs a reality
