Why does it just "say" capitalism @is not daijoubu
Because capitalism creates the condition where we both 1. Have people forced into selling their bodies and 2. Arrest them for doing such
tell me a gulag story, stalin @carlton™
The Soviet Union also created a condition where people were forced into selling their bodies, and were arrested for doing so.
Guess socialism is also bad. 😦
Prostitution has ALWAYS existed in every society.
It's not symptomatic of capitalism at all.
Forced prostitution is something linked to capital
If all needs are provided there is no need to be forced
Abolishment of money wouldn't abolish the goods that money was used as a medium to acquire. Wherever something someone wants exists, prostitution can also exist.
Even in the most primitive societies, prostitution exists.
Several animal species practice prostitution.
Your argument is just dumb, to be blunt.
inb4 communism would be a utopia where everyone would have everything so there would be no prostitutes
Even in this impossible system prostitution is still a service people would want.
I don't see all prostitution as inherently negative. There's just conditions present in my country and others that make it less about human empowerment, and more about degrading.
There are conditions present in any country, in any society, in any people that have ever existed, which made prostitution viable.
Humans are always going to have sex, the primary concern should be whether their needs are met
How does capitalism solve desire?
I have yet to see a successful implementation of communism, so for now on all you have is "this is how it WILL be".
…so long as women have any control over who they reproduce with, there will always be prostitution
it is a biological weapon
We've yet to see successful capitalism
Xd
Successful in the sense it isn't perfect in every way? No. We haven't seen successful capitalism.
Levels of prosperity and individual freedoms unprecedented in human history? Yep. That's capitalism.
Capitalism: being around the last 200 years makes us the only way to increase prospect
What you define as "successful" becomes moot when you only define a communist utopia as successful.
One that has never existed, I might add.
Capitalism isn't a perfect system, but it's certainly successful. A lot more successful than any attempt at communism.
A"capitalist" country didn't exist at the time people were throwing their Kings out
Yes, it did. The establishment of the merchant class in the 1300's meant the abolishment of feudalism and the birth of capitalism before it was even established as an economic theory.
You are very uneducated on this topic.
Monarchism is not mutually exclusive with capitalism lmao
We will very likely have a communist utopia once we obtain a massive robotic slave work force.
Sounds great. I've yet to see it happen though.
Or they'll just kill off the poor
So for now it's empty theories and hot air.
Can you try to look at it holistically? Firstly, forced prostitution is a byproduct of poverty, which is a byproduct of capitalism. I will concede that point to you. But every economic system in history, including any attempt at communism, has also had poverty and therefore forced prostitution.
Poverty is a byproduct of the inherent inequality humanity has, and that capitalism exploits for the betterment of a society it exists in.
