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.

There’s a lot of confusion about what democratic socialists want, and that’s fair. Even within our group, there are differences among us. (lemmy.today)

Even for people that think that they are against democratic socialism, there's no way they read this and think that's a bad thing. This reads like something that's used to promote DSA rather than fear monger. It's out of character for Republicans to slander something so softly without any sort of hate rhetoric or other blasphemy.

Really, who can read this and say, yea, I want the power to stay with the wealthy and not be with the people other than wealthy people? I would have guessed this were satire if I just saw it in passing.

Maybe they're actually trying to boost it because they think it will create a civil war among democrats? The same way dems boosted Trump over previous conservatives.

Oh man, I hope they do the hell out of this.

Feel free to listen to their Fox News attacks on AOC. Their audience has been trained to automatically hate her and anything she does, so they can present her platform straightforwardly and without fear of losing their audience.

Hassan Piker is another guy that often gets criti-praised.
