Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

their con man idols tell them that the reason their lives are shitty is because of the mexicans, gays, black people, women, librarians, immigrants....everyone except the people who are literally paying them nothing and laughing at them for it.
and the people are all too happy to believe it

I think a lot about something i read somewhere - "you hate every piece of capitalism but won't connect the dots to see that's the picture".
I have this conversation with people all the time.
Everything always boils down to people being dumb and if magically the people would become smart, all problems would just get fixed.
Not even smart , in a genius-like sense. I'd settle for merely cooperative.
Like if people could drop the petty "movement purity" squabbles and just rustle up that meme energy "apes together strong" for each other as the working class, instead of individualizing their struggles and settling for misery, we could really get somewhere!
You mean unions?
Communist!
Well... You ought to know to listen to your betters, too!
