For individual workers, there shouldn't be any stigma sround for them, they should be respected as much as any other worker. And the industry itself should become less predatory and workers should be protected more, I hear workplace sexual assault is common in the industry and people should be protected against that. Also another question in my mind is "If people depend on money to survive and if that money is made trough sex than is, sex work, rape trough coercion?"
To answer that question it might be useful to ask a different question: "If people depend on money to survive and if that money is made through manual labour. Does this imply that manual labour is slavery through coercion?"
People have no choice but to work, meaning yes(?). Conclusion I am reaching is that capitalism corrupts labour.
If a person has to work to pick fruit from a tree so they can eat and not starve, does that mean Nature is slavery?
If I can't live unless I feed myself, am I a slave to myself?
If all around is laid waste and in my last hour, am I a slave to the Power of Death? A SLAAAAAVE TO THE POOOOOOWER OF DEEEEEEEEAEAEAEEAAAATH!
Yes.
that's mutual aid I think
If you tried to live on fruit you would die. You need animal protein (or some other means of getting vitamin Bs) and grains and vegetables.Wheat/Rice/Corn/Potatoes/Carrots/lettuce don't want to be eaten. That's why they are full of shit that can kill you that only things like cooking, milling, and leaching can get rid of. Cabbage, even after thousands of years of selective breeding, alone has something like 14 different posions that can end you.
This whole argument is so freaken stupid. You are not a slave because you don't want a lifestyle of living in welfare. Calling yourself one because you work part time in a gas station is an insult to every real slave in human history.
You don't really need to work to survive, you will be miserable but you can survive. Heck like half of my family decided work wasn't their thing decades ago. I am the moron for working.
