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.

Capitalism is an economic system, not a political system. Politics is the means by which capitalist policies and systems are created and maintained.
The US political system could just as easily create and enforce (more) socialist systems and policies, but it doesn't because it's been captured by corporate and foreign interests.
How is an economic system different from a political system? You're making a pointless argument.
"Why is capitalism not communism? Because it's not communism"
Why would foreign interests go against socialism? They are the same people as you, why would they be treated differently?
