Does a country have the right to deny passports to citizens who openly patronize online communities devoted to extreme age-regression fetish content?

Passport “rights” are always conditional on the class character of the state issuing them.  Under the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie the passport is a commodity: it is granted or withheld according to whether the citizen’s circulation helps or harms the valorisation of capital and the ideological needs of the ruling bloc.  Age-regression fetish communities are disgusting, but they are also a niche market; if the users pay their ISP bills and do not yet appear on a police “threat to brand” spreadsheet, their passports will be renewed.  The day the same behaviour is re-labelled “reputational risk to semiconductor supply-chain partners,” the same state will cancel passports overnight.  The criterion is not the act itself, but its exchange-value for imperialist accumulation.

Under the dictatorship of the proletariat the question is posed differently.  The workers’ state does not exist to guarantee the abstract “freedom to travel”; it exists to defend the construction of socialism and to protect the younger generation from all forms of commodified de-humanisation.  If an individual uses private, profit-driven platforms to circulate material that eroticises infantilisation, that is already participation in a labour process that produces and normalises paedophilic desire.  The passport office is therefore dealing with someone who has objectively allied with a counter-revolutionary cultural industry.  Denial of exit is a defensive measure: it keeps a vector of ideological infection inside a territory where re-education through labour, supervision by the collective, and—if necessary—coercive psychiatric treatment can be applied.  Once the person has been cleared by the local soviet of workers, youth and women’s delegates, the restriction can be lifted.  Until then, the right to cross borders is subordinate to the right of the exploited to be free from the sexualised degradation that imperialism pumps into every screen.

So, yes: a workers’ state will deny that passport without apology, not because the fetish is “extreme” in the moralistic language of the bourgeois press, but because it is part of the real, material network that reproduces the commodity-form of human beings, especially children.
