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.

The French revolution is far from the most well-regarded outcome, & yet, I think it was preferable to no revolution, at the time... I agree that having a knowledgeable populace is essential to social stability.
The French Revolution led to Napoleon.
It was nice to get rid of one set of autocrats... but it just led directly into another. Its not like they traded up.
It did lead to one, but he didn't last forever, & again, I think it's pretty hard to argue they were better off before than after.
