Since I have a poor memory, would someone please remind me why it is harmful for the working class to continue allowing production to fall under the consolidated control of oligarchs?

I know there must be some reason, but I seem to keep forgetting.

You think with the rise of automation and definitely with AI tools men in India shouldn't have to work that many hours.

Fuck that shit if I was in that country I riot.

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.
