    They used this as a gotcha while also ignoring Mao's foreign policy, which also sucked, like when he supported Mobutu, the notorious anti-communist, to own the Soviets when the Soviets started aiding the MPLA. China and Mobutu did the opposite and aided the anti-communist opposition. Maoists are hypocrites.

    Sex work is exploitation. It is the commodification of sex which, like all other commodities, was intended for use and not for exchange to make a profit from the exploitation of the sex worker. Sex workers should be treated the same as any other exploited worker. Still, it only differentiates in how they are exploited, i.e. a wage worker is exploited through the extraction of surplus value. In contrast, the sex worker is exploited due to the fact the sex worker and the buyer of the sex enter into a relationship where money is exchanged; therefore, due to money being the reason for the sex and not individual want, it can not be considered consensual, hence exploitative, you have other examples like this but on a bigger scale with the porn industry etc.
