Just let me say I am completely appalled by this. But the solution is elusive because where there is a demand, there will be a supply.
I have come down on the side of legalized drugs for this reason. I don't know whether legalizing prostitution would be a solution here, but it might be.
The traffickers need to be hunted down, and removed from the planet (well, the surface of it, anyway, they'd still be a few feet under it) without mercy.
When all else fails, blame brown people. | Hire a teen, while they still know it all. | Trump-Palin 2016. "You're fired." "I quit."
Lots consider that you are missing out on all the doctors, lawyers architects and engineers (professional women all)
Well if you put it that way, actually haven't been missing something I shouldn't.
But it is interesting that Che would say that is okay for a communist to be with a prostitute so long just he doesn't pay her because that would capitalism (and presumably, exploitation).

I feel like I've just seen a huge wormhole linking to the nedaverse

Well, Spiff, commies don't pay for sex. Isn't that right? That's what Che said. But he was also very familiar with the more intimate aspects of a prostitute's services.

He also says that he doesn't know what you missed either, after you said you never went to a prostitute.
Oh, and I don't see any ideological reason why a commie wouldn't buy sex. At least, as long as the Commie buys any other good or service. I don't remember where Che mentioned Commies here (especially since he repeatedly said he had nothing against the sex industry per se, in other threads)

True, Spiff. But he did talk about capitalists liking pros because of their better skills. This lead to my joke, and Che's joking answer. All in fun, I assure you.
But seriously, now, how could a good commie pay for sex? That is exploitation is its most direct form.

Just the same we pay to buy shoes.
Most of us are not opposed to the exchange of goods and services for money.
However, I admit I don't know how a planned economy would manage prostitution.

goverment subsidized whorehouses of course, or goverment operated whorehouses.
Here's an interseting note. Because the Mustang Ranch (famous Nevada brothel) failed to pay their taxes, the goverment seized the ranch. they had intended on operating the ranch as well to pay off the owed taxes. . But then Arsenio Hall called President Bush (Bush sr.) a pimp, and well the plans of the goverment running a brothel went down the drain. The brothel was auctioned off.
Oh we pay . .. we always pay. It might be in the regret of having made a horrendous decison or in the dozens of meals you eat with in laws that you don't like but there is always some price to be paid. It may not be apparent immediately but its there nontheless
Yea, I'm going to pay big time this weekend. It's a double bill, my gf's birthday and mother's day.
He's got the Midas touch.
But he touched it too much!
Hey Goldmember, Hey Goldmember!
Ned makes my life sound a lot more interesting that it really is.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
