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.

Always has been. Reaganomics convinced a struggling class they were temporarily embarrassed millionaires and if they just always voted republican the ~~piss~~ wealth of the rich would flow into their mouths. History goes even farther back than that, but the point stands
What we need to combat, is that very idea that they're just temporarily embarassed billionnaires. Nobody becomes that rich out of nil. You either are born into a rich family or marry into it. And since billionnaires don't marry poor people (rather, other high profile billionnaires or multimillionnaires), there's no real chance ever of marrying one.
We need to dumb down left wing politics to "eat the bad rich and let's make you rich".
