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.

Go take it? Aren't you Americans supposed to have it in your blood to combat tyranny?

They also have the biggest and most well equipped military in the world. I dont see it going well for the average citizen there. You're going to need a LOT of help for any type of resistance too. I don't think the average american has access to things like tanks or armored vehicles either. Maybe drone warfare would happen? Not a good outlook.

Now if you could somehow convince them all to stop working and make the economy come to a halt, that might make the elite class worried and be forced into reaching a resolution without violence. Doubt it could ever be that easy or simple though, and is just a pipe dream at this point. Americans might be screwed forever if they can't work together or agree on anything at all.

HA! What a load of shit that all was.

Now it is just some weird brand of freedom^tm^ mixed with warm ideas of misplaced superiority.

Don't forget the racism and refusal to acknowledge that 'Murica was founded in genocide
