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.

I realize this is gunna make me sound fairly radical and murdery, but it's more legit curiousity...
I sometimes wonder why out of all the people living in misery why someone hasn't gone on to just pick a CEO and... assassinate them? Like they are generally not super well protected. They aren't living like spies with people tasting their food for poison or anything.
People have been losing their patience with Corporate wealth for a long time and talking pitchforks for decades but it's not like these people are untouchable and unknowable. A lot of this stuff is fairly public information. I figure the prerequisites for stochastic terrorism would be pretty ripe but like... Why haven't we heard about even one case? Is it just too personal you think? What is the threshold for domestic terrorist incidents? Why do we see all these lone wolf gunman going after schools and clubs because they have been made so VERY angry... but not tracking down singular people? Is it a different psychological requirement?
I often wonder why people wronged by these mega corporations just don't buy a cheap drone and fix an explosive to it like you see in Ministry for the Future or in Ukraine's defense against invading Russian soldiers. They don't even need to assassinate these CEOs, they can just blow up their assets to hurt them. Insurance might pay for the damages the first few times but they'll stop covering these assets if it becomes too large a burden for them.
