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.

You can have whatever definition you want. But for me, working class means just that - a person that has earned their bread through the work of their own hands, not through the exploitation of the labor of others, through rent-seeking, or from inheritance.
I'm sure you can cite plenty of theory, but frankly, I don't care. I prefer a definition of the term centered in lived experience. If you go off raw wealth, you just end up classifying entire nations as working class or bourgeois, at which point the term loses all meaning.
Oh, you're just a racist garbage person. Xenophobia does not become OK simply because the target are Americans.
Well, if I guess if I'm irredeemably evil simply because of where I happened to be born, then you have no room to complain. I'm just doing what I was born to do, apparently. I'll disregard your words, because they're irrelevant to an evil monster like myself.
FYI, this person told me to kill myself because I said they don't handle criticism well and tell people to kill themselves.
I can't report it because I'm banned in the community for saying China isn't perfect.
