Billionaires used to build libraries and hospital wings, now they just buy politicians.

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.

Isn't capitalism great? Aren't you glad we're not doing the Scientific Socialism thing?
Tbh america should just rebuild their democratic system so it works for multiple parties
In my country we got over 10 political parties parliament
Unfortunately, laws are only able to be changed by the same group that stands to lose if something like that law gets passed. The system all but guarantees a two-party system eventually.
It guarantees a one party system.
The two party system only holds up when you have large, disparate regions when one party local government can operate independently.
There are so many alternatives that aren't definitely this bad that we aren't trying.
