There seems to be a current of “pro sex work” in the left yet prostitution (to me at least) is not work it is not labour. Nothing of value is produced and all that’s provided is access of womens bodies to be raped by bourgeois men
Also does anyone have writings on the new trend of polyamoury?
Surely this has underpinnings in economy rather than “free choice to coshare a house amongst 4 people” (as in split rent 4 ways due to rent hikes)?
Again the trend of polyamoury seems to have it’s underpinnings in economy and the stunted sexual development of adults that are no longer able to “grow up” because wages are flat, houses are out of reach and rent is sky high. So why not YOLO and engage in as much meaningless sex as possible and collect relationships like commodities
(I’ve provided my opinions here but am looking for a solid marxist analysis of prostitution and polyamoury)
I agree with your view on prostitution. Here is a somewhat longer analysis, from this document (page 17, in Spanish).
Regarding polyamoury, in my view that is mainly a phenomenon in the United States. It could be related to the fact individualist ideology is so widespread there, that people arent able to compromise enough with a potential partner to form a stable relationship.
Thanks for this I’ll run this through google translate and read the entire thing
Youre welcome! By the way, I’m really confused why so many people are downvoting your post.
Yes a lot of pro rapists in the Left that wish to parade prostitution as something progressive despite this being settled a long time ago by Marx/Engels/Lenin and why every socialist country that ever existed outlawed prostitution
I didn’t post the question to ask the community I just wanted some recent MArxist analysis on it from communist parties!
