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.

Okay, but to be fair, we should probably Guillotine the Epstein Class, and create employee owned businesses. Would probably benefit a lot of people.
As for voting, we will always need to vote. All governments are a monopoly on violence, and voting is one of the ways to direct that violence. It's mine, and no doubt many others, preferred way of directing that violence. In opposition to dictators, kings, and other unelected versions of governance directing said violence.
So I do view those refusing to vote as naive at best, and dumber than a stump at worst.
Ok but your two realistic options for achieving those goals is either to pick up a gun and go do it yourself by force or to participate in our admittedly shitty system and put Democrats and specifically progressive Democrats where possible in power. So which ya gonna do?
Well considering people are being locked up in concentration camps, shot in the street in broad daylight, and the feckless opposition party constantly rolls over. Probably the gun, since I've already organized with my neighbors in case ICE shows up.
Glad I could clear that up for you though.
Edit: Oh and that's a false dilemma since voting is also backed by guns, they're just used by a third party so we can abstract away the inherent violence that allows a government to be a government.
So you're an accelerationist. That's all anyone needs to know about you or your opinions.
lmao, I'm a reactionary. I react to the world as it is, not as I wish it was. If you're going to try to label me, at least do it right. Especially since you do it to avoid actually putting up an argument, and to avoid your own cognitive dissonance.
Guess you don't have to think critically when all you look for is easy labels, and people to blame. Must be nice.
Well that was a long winded deflection since you have no rebuttal.
You made no argument? There was no need for a "rebuttal". You decided I was labeled, and said that you didn't need anything else.
That's not an argument, that's a statement about your mindset, lol.
