I don't even think it should be illegal for any moral reason, or, because I think it is degenerate. I think it is bullshit women get to get by only on their looks and their pussies. They should get a job like the rest of us.

What's this to you. ?
The only people who get this upset about socialists wanting to abolish prostitution tend to be liberals that get angry when you suggest that rich people shouldn't be able to use money to rent the bodies of poor people. You have not given me a reason to assume that isn't your motivation.

>A PUBLIC SERVICE

Currently 90% of prostitutes only do it because they are forced into it, usually it's economic coercion but there's a lot of human trafficking too. You can objectively measure how it's destroying people.

If you have a socialist society where everybody can pursue a regular job without getting exploited, you're not going to find many volunteers for this. How can you hope to turn this into a public service if you won't find any applicants ? You do realize that once a socialist economy has been fully established, people will get payed according to labor-time, you'll only be able to give people extra bonus payments if people vote to have their income taxed in order to fund these bonuses.

As far as socialist economics goes, prostitution doesn't count as productive labor, because it doesn't produce a non-ethereal effect in the form of a tangible good or a service that has a permanently lasting beneficial effect, like a medical service that permanently cures an ailment. So all the bean counters that try to optimize the economy they wouldn't want to divert human labor to this either, because other activities will be better at societal wealth-accumulation.

Socialist theory considers prostitution as alienated social relation. I think you are trying to insert liberalism into socialism.

Level with me, why are you pushing for this ?

>It's about controlling public health, sexual life
Yeah we'll leave health to people who understand biology and medicine, and of course the patients that get their health adjusted, injecting politics into health is a terrible idea.
We're not going to control the sex-life of people either, you know other than banning pedophile-crap, bestiality and so on.
You just made more arguments against your idea.

>relieving social tensions and building social cohesion.

You think you're going to relieve social tensions and create cohesion by forcing women into public sex duty?
Are you kidding me ?

>Prostitution is a social phenomenon that existed through all modes of production.

Nope that's not a valid argument, so far slavery has also existed in all modes of production other than the socialist mode of production.

>Socialist society through its government should destigmatize prostitution and deal this phenomenon in the open.

This is an archetypal argument of liberals that do not want to change the status quo in it's substance only seeking to change the appearances.

>What's this to you. ?
I just understand the importance of prostitution as a social regulating mechanism.

>when you suggest that rich people shouldn't be able to use money to rent the bodies of poor people

we're talking about democratic socialism here, so no rich people or entrenched unaccountable bureaucrats

>Currently 90% of prostitutes only do it because they are forced into it, usually it's economic coercion but there's a lot of human trafficking too. You can objectively measure how it's destroying people.

Yes, I told you I've been to brothels, and can see that they are doing it not because of the happy life.

>If you have a socialist society where everybody can pursue a regular job without getting exploited, you're not going to find many volunteers for this. How can you hope to turn this into a public service if you won't find any applicants ? You do realize that once a socialist economy has been fully established, people will get payed according to labor-time, you'll only be able to give people extra bonus payments if people vote to have their income taxed in order to fund these bonuses.

Bingo. That's precisely why prostitution would be not exploitative in socialism.

People would need to democratically decide that prostitution is a necessary social service and so agree to deduce some surplus for it just like they would deduce it for healthcare services or any other unproductive but necessary social activity.

You would find applicants by paying them more than average, providing various bonuses like housing, vacations, increasing prestige of the profession, de-stigmatizing the activity, and making prostitution more than just about sexual intercourse. It should be about public sexual health and socialization.
It also should be made clear that a prostitute is a valuable educated professional that costed society many hundreds of thousands of labor hours to produce.

>As far as socialist economics goes, prostitution doesn't count as productive labor, because it doesn't produce a non-ethereal effect in the form of a tangible good or a service that has a permanently lasting beneficial effect, like a medical service that permanently cures an ailment.

ok theorylet, medical services aren't considered as productive in marxist theory

you should maybe google how USSR divided its industries among productive/unproductive in its plans

why is it always uneducated brainlets who are arguing against me?

>So all the bean counters that try to optimize the economy they wouldn't want to divert human labor to this either, because other activities will be better at societal wealth-accumulation.

We'll leave this decision to the democratic socialist society, ok? We're talking about a developed and wealthy socialist society here, not a yesterday's feudal state.

>Socialist theory considers prostitution as alienated social relation.

If we're talking about classical marxism then it was primarily concerned with domestic prostitution under a patriarchal family, not prostitution as a millennia-spanning social phenomenon.

And if we're talking about post-modern feminist "theory" then it has very little to do with actual marxism.

And lets not even talk about modern idpolled "theory" lol

>This is an archetypal argument of liberals that do not want to change the status quo in it's substance only seeking to change the appearances.

You telling me that liberals advocate for a public prostitution service run by the government?

I'm pretty sure liberals want to keep prostitution out of the public sight exactly because of the same reasons as you.

After all, modern feminist theory is one of the points of convergence for leftoid and libs.

bruh just get some bitches irl. basic social skills required.
It will only waste resources of what the state should actually be doing, such as investing in education, health, public transport, quality of water people drink, social inclusion, investing on the poor participating in the economy, etc etc etc etc.
this is also bad because, the least state you have, the more fash police you'll need/or have consequentially.
and doing that will just shrink the state and waste its resources into things that won't help make people live better. thus requiring more police, since the state won't be doing its part anymore to maintain order by making everything good for people.
and we all know what police actually do to people in secret

Again. We are talking about a wealthy society with already high standard of living.

If it decides that it needs public prostitutes, who are you to stop them?

According to the classification of branches of the national economy adopted in the USSR, all branches of the national economy were divided into two spheres: the sphere of material production and the non-production sphere[51].

The following branches of the national economy belonged to the sphere of material production:

Industry
Agriculture
Forestry
Fisheries
Transport and communications
Construction
Trade and catering
Logistics and supplies
blanks
Information and technical service
Operations with real estate
General commercial activities to ensure the functioning of the market
Geology and exploration of subsoil, geodetic and hydrometeorological services
Other activities in the sphere of material production

The following sectors of the national economy and activities were classified as non-production sphere:

Department of Housing and Utilities
Non-productive types of consumer services for the population

>Karl marx literally defines proletariat as those with nothing to sell but their own labor power


>Dumb ass anarkiddies cope and seethe over it.


Also in order to define sex as a commodity you would also have to define women as productive forces.

>You made a claim about the means of production, and that's what the means of production are. Look, you being unable to keep up with your own iditotic points is not an argument.


But women are none of those things you fucking dumb faggot, lmao, holy shit. You aren't even making an argument here and still you arrogantly project that you are correct because you are a simp infested with feminist ideology. Jesus Christ, pigeon chess…

People are not means of production. Read literally any economic text book.

>therefore it is impossible for organic grocery stores to accumulate surplus for more than two days
holy shit, you have never read marx, have you?
the point of a commodity is that:
1. society finds it useful (use value)
2. it represents labor (value)
3. can be, and was meant to be, traded (exchange value)
the "durability" or some other physical characteristic of the particular commodity is irrelevant for the purpose of accumulation. this is to say, because of point (3), you can trade an ephemeral commodity (the organic fruit) for a durable commodity, gold for example

So… ultimately what you're saying is that if something turns a profit - it is productive? I got you fam..

gambling "service" has a "use value" to gamblers and it turns a hefty profit
