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.

China which is... also capitalism, but instead of CEOs there's The Party
And there is only one Party. Either you're in, or you're in the way.
Sounds pretty familiar
Well, technically speaking, if it's the same shit from the same ass but you can chose your favorite buttcheek, you do have a choice.
Up until recently you really did. US citizens decided to not have it, so who knows in the future, but you really did.
American really cannot do comparative analysis, they believe that their country is the only one in the world and very unique, so it's hard for american brain to comprehend that some countries are better at something and some are worse. They need to be either the best or the worst.
This attitude betrays that you never actually engaged with it besides reading about a candidate 2 minutes before casting a vote that one time and never again.
US is a stone’s throw from these groups becoming one and the same.
