There is no or a very small impact of regulation on the number of exiled people coming in country. However, making more people illegal let bosses exploit them more. Those workers could not sue their boss because of those regulations, and most conservative unions rely unfortunately too much on legal solutions.

So if a country couldn’t limit immigrations, it could exploit more people and bybass human right with regulations against exiled people.

Yes, this is only positive for far-right bosses, and awful for others. But guess who decide in a capitalist economy ?

A Trade Union Sex Work section in activity in Strasbourg

In France, the CNT-F interprofessional union of Bas-Rhin (STP 67) has been in its ranks for several years, several sex workers grouped in an union section, but without field activity. It has changed since March 2024! Noting that the struggles for the rights of the Sew Workers are still as necessary in France in 2024 as 50 years ago (with the sex workers movement of Lyon in 1975, which is a reference to this day), we decided to re-act our union section through our union and from now on, actively struggle on the ground, in the anarcho-syndical and revolutionary spirit of the CNT-F.

Our section has been very active since this launch:

To begin with, we have written and printed a leaflet that presents all the things we fight against, and why we organize ourselves in a union to lead our struggles. Then we created accounts on the so-called social networks, where we publish regularly, highlighting the slogan “No Prohibitionism nor Abolitionism nor Regulationism – trade unionism! " On March 8, 2024, we participated in the cross-sectional feminist demonstration organized in Strasbourg by autonomous feminist collectives, where we spoke by emphasizing that “there is no feminism without the whores”, and displayed the main demands of the Sex Workers: “The complete decriminalization of sex work!”, “Common law for the workers of sex!”, “Full residence and work rights for migrant Sex Workers!”, “Abolitionism is a violence against women”. On May 1, 2024 we took part in the post-demo press table of our union in Molodoi (a punk self-managed place) and all day to the public who was passing through it, which produced a lot of interesting contacts and exchanges, including with sex worker colleagues.

On 21 May 2024, the independent local press (Rue89 Strasbourg) dedicated us an article-maintenance in solidarity and very noticed: https://www.rue89strasbourg.com/work-du-sexe-section-syndicale-strasbourg-301399

During the preparation of our meeting on June 2, 2024, one of us remembered a piece of the group from Nancy “Carmen Colère heard” in concert, a song called “Daughter of” and which supports the Sex Workers. We asked the band if this piece was online somewhere and if we could use it to create a video “teaser” for June 2. The band was delighted with our request, on purpose recorded the piece, which was not published, for us, and allowed us to use it in teaser video. We are delighted with all the active solidarity, and very warmly thanked the group. And so on June 1 and 2, 2024, we organized militant events on the occasion of the International Day of the Struggles of Sex Workers (day commemorating the movement of the Sex Workers of Lyon, begun by the occupation of the Church of St-Nizier on June 2, 1975): a screening-debate on this subject on June 1 and a public gathering on June 2. It was the first time that a public activist event of tds took place in Strasbourg on that crucial date, we were 30 people there. This gathering was well received by the public, and to our surprise even the local mainstream press interviewed us there and published a benevolent article. On June 4, 2024 we were in an internationalist approach, supporting our Germans Sex Worker colleagues in their struggle against the introduction of the penalization of their clients (penalization in force in France since 2016, with the disastrous effects we know). Upstream, two of us participated in a video interview on this subject carried out by a German social work organization that is active on the ground with our td colleagues in Germany and also in Strasbourg, cross-border. This video was projected and debated in Freiburg on June 4 with the participation of one of us. We have good militant contacts in Germany, although they are not unionists at the moment. In short, our union section is well active and publicly visible. But we are also working very hard: since mid-June we have launched an internal working group to the union on sex work, in which non-Sex Worker comrades are also involved to contribute their know-how, e.g. legal and technical. Because sex work is a much more complex subject than it looks, e.g., with the quite recent rise of virtual tds on the Internet that asks a lot of questions about the order of labour law and also of the technical field (disguised salariat, cybersecurity, right to image…). Group we are fully involved in. And of course we regularly tell and show to our colleagues in Strasbourg how a Sex Worker, self-managed and struggle union could be supporting for them. In summary, we are very happy to be finally launched on the ground, and we invite our sex workers to organize themselves as we do. We will gladly share the tools we have created, contact us.

What ? A corporation that earn money in selling personal data, that don’t want to share its code that run on a device with a microphone, actually use it ? I’m shocked

Please do not over interpret if you have not understand. I’m sorry if my English is not enough.

I began my post in saying that it’s wrong to said that Jewish peoples are wealthy.

I may not have underline enough how much the precarity threat Jewish communities before this period. In the Yiddishland (where Jews were forced to live in the Russian Empire ), workers earn the third of the wage of workers in France or Germany. 20% of people have to rely on charity to live. Saying that there is less precarity after the extermination is not saying that people are wealthy, or that this is a good thing.

This is not how it works. There is no much Jewish people being billionaire than from white or Christians communities. The medieval assignation to moneylender was not a privilege : this was a convenient way for Christians to get rid of their debt in killing every jews in town. This how big project have been financed, like cathedrals.

Furthermore, money is not influence or power, army and means or productions are. And Jewish were precisely forbidden to have both. So they could be threat by force or discriminate by laws.

Jewish are note the exception, the large majority of us are part of the work force. In the beginning of the 20th century, lots of the jewish proletariat is organized as such (like in the Bund) or in another organization (Anarchist, Bolschevik, Social-democrats). Not because there is “a plan” but because of the rise of nationalism (and the threat of pogroms) and because there more precarious than the majority of the workers (sometimes because of discrimination, like in the Yiddishland, or because their family have been dispossessed).

After WWII, the part of proletariat in the Jewisch communities plummet, because their where in first line during the extermination. Even before nazis, other movement attack our people, organization and struggles, like the Endeck in Polonia.

I understand that those posts are made to refute antisemitism, but those premises are wrong, and is part of the antisemitic propaganda

“Have your heard about our nor God nor Saviors, Anarcho-unionism” ?

There is many homeless women; unfortunately because of threat of rape and harassment (somehow underlined here), lots of them have to not look homeless. They have to buy fine clothes, and makeup. If you think that people “just have to prostitute lol”, you have to ask why you don’t. There is a fucking lot of violence against sex workers. Usually people that could prostitute have coworkers to rely on, or are forced to work for a boss (or a pimp, that the same thing). If the first case is the most common in most of countries, it’s not available for people with few social connections; which is usually the main reason of homelessness

A lot of website use so much ressources, I couldn’t visit its with my 5 years old laptop or my “smart” phone. The only way to access their services is with apps. Fortunately, I could choose FOSS apps on F-Droids

However, loading textual information shall not consume all my RAM and most of my CPU. There is an issue with today web

all managers are bastards

• Short term interest: Yearly benefits make the corporation value. Work to enhance stability, such as investment in other open source project, documentation, formation, or code quality enhancement are less likely to qet time
• Commercial focus: In a capitalist economy, we don’t have pure and perfect knowledge of product. Even if it’s supposed to work like this, commercials and adds are way more effective to sell products, than a top notch product
• Antagonist interests: even if workers tend to like making good stuff, they’d rather eat and get housed. Sending a warning because the products are bad or dangerous can threat someone that made a bad decision, which is likely to be someone in charge. Keeping a low profile is (unfortunately) a reasonable behavior

I think that an economy lead by financial interest, open market, and a hierarchy in the production is a good definition of capitalism.

And yes, definitely the way that people get food, housing, and not being exclude will define a lot of thing in society.

So in the end, they is an internal contradiction in capitalism. It just append to be collapse due to lack of ressources and dumb management

yea sorry. It was a typo

Whatever the result, what cause the rise of far right will be still there. We have to continue to mobilize after the election this time. Organized for your interest fellows

I am not sure this is a wide spread behavior among the IT. Reading the “Debian Free Software Guidelines”, we could have some doubts. My point is not that free software are good or bad, but that is not enough. If we want te be responsible as producers, we have to organize as such to stop production that killing us (with climat change or military for example) and promote the one that emancipate us. Free software are a way to achieve the last one, unions the fist one

I said such things too, but one day I ask myself, could I said it in front of people bombed by my tools ? Our tools are not neutral things, but produce and distribute by social relationship that we could fight. Sorry but we the rise of fascism and ecological disaster we could not afford to give up our power as producer to mass murderer

Law do not exist by itself; it’s the result of balance of power. How would you know that your State do not use illegally free software ? And if you know it, could you sue it ? Even if it’s a classified administration ?

Apply laws Internationally is even worse. It usually depends of the imperialist relationship between States. For exemple, Facebook rules was illegal in France, but France changes it’s laws rather than sue Facebook. A decade later, the whole European Union could forte RGPD upon the GAFAM.

China have nothing to fear in ignoring those licence, and we shouldn’t rely on it to protect our work. However we could strengthen our common defenses, through FOSS for people in the US … and maybe trade unions elsewhere.

Sadly yes, Linux kill

Recycle your unvisited rooms for next dungeons. I know it’s cheap, but hey you’re the only one who would know.

Okay guys, maybe the is a contradiction in capitalism that make it collapse. It just append to be toxic masculinity

They choose to comply with the law. Other provider of service choose to not to. I would be okay if their main argument wouldn’t be privacy, but it is.
