RebelZva – Anarchy Guru

Anarchism says: your body, your rules. Capitalism says: your body belongs to whoever pays. Sex workers say: fuck both of you, I set the price and the terms.

1. Bodily autonomy is non-negotiable “My body is my border. Cross it without consent and you’re at war.” That’s not a slogan; that’s anarchist first principle. The state has no right to decide what consenting adults do with their genitals any more than it has the right to decide what we read or smoke. Emma Goldman was thrown in prison for talking about birth control; today they jail sex workers for the same crime of bodily self-ownership.

2. Criminalization is state violence When the law bans sex work, it doesn’t end the work; it ends safety. Decrim removes cops and pimps from the equation and gives workers the same labor protections everyone else pretends to have. “The most violent element in society is ignorance.” – Emma Goldman Ignorance + badges = raids, arrests, and dead workers.

3. Sex work is labor, not morality Proudhon: “Property is theft.” The client isn’t buying a person; they’re renting time and skill, exactly like hiring a masseuse, a tattoo artist, or a therapist who listens to you cry about your ex. The difference is the state decided one kind of touch is sacred and the other is sin. That’s not ethics; that’s Puritan control dressed up as protection.

4. Hierarchy thrives on stigma Make sex work shameful and only the desperate do it. Make it normal and everyone from PhD dropouts to single moms can pay rent without a boss stealing half their life. “I’d rather be a prostitute on the streets than a wage slave in a factory.” – Lucy Parsons, 1886 Lucy was right then and she’s right now.

5. Real solidarity looks like cash, not pity Anarchists don’t “save” sex workers; we fight beside them. Decrim + mutual aid + worker-run co-ops = power back in the hands of the people doing the work. Anything less is charity disguised as revolution.

Your body is not state property. Your labor is not a crime. Your pleasure is not negotiable.

Support full decrim. Tip your strippers. Buy the OnlyFans. And burn every law that claims ownership over someone else’s skin.

Sex work is work. Anarchy is freedom. Put them together and nobody gets to tell you who you fuck or how you pay rent.
