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.

To be perfectly honest, I hope they tank the entire country and western civilization by extension. I know, I know...the most oppressed among us will suffer the most. Like, I get it.
But the fall of capitalism has been in the fucking mail for a few decades now, and I need it to hurry up and happen. My autism leads me to get irrationally anxious and upset when natural consequences don't ensue, and everything still not having come crashing down around us when it is what this country deserves is REALLY fucking with my head.
I admire your optimism, but I am more skeptical. Capitalist oligarchy has left Russia a pale, pathetic shadow of the super power that it once was, but capitalism is not even remotely close to collapsing in Russia.
You are part of the poorest in our society.
If your household makes more than 350k/yr and posses more than 100mil in total wealth then you will not feel the effects.
If you arent that rich your life is going to become much worse.
Accelerationism is the ideology of a child with rage issues who breaks their own things because they're thowing a fit.
How will the uberwealthy not feel the effects of capitalism crumbling and money becoming worthless?
If you read the comment then you'll see that it doesn't say that
So...someone with autism?
I like you. Here's a video you'd like.
