From what I have come to understand about Marxism and Leninism is that they do not make space for sex workers to be part of the revolutionary working class.

Which is soooo detached from reality especially in this stage of late capitalism with porn and the internet
@CursedConfetti It also just kind of excluded women as a class from the revolution, even 150 years ago or whatever when the Manifesto was written.
I want to say that the reason why Marx emphasized factory and farm workers during the 19th century was a very deliberate strategic choice, in that it allowed great orators (like Lenin and Stalin) to reach two very specific demographics that---at the time--were so central to the flow of resources.
But the world looks nothing like that today.
It's a hard thing to have a good dialog on as a community because sex work exists in so many forms and scales of monatization
Like tbh i consider cis het normative féminine domestic duties to be sex work, just unmonatized or just in a way of providing shelter/etc like feudalism for a good chunk of history
