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.

Wow this is horrible. I only recently started watching his content and liking it. But this is surprising, also why is this on some other channel?
To hide it. He is also on a podcast with Yugopnik and Hakim, both of which are tankies.
I think it is fine that the channels are separate.
I am happy to receive the general leftist education on ST without bothering with any ML.
The fact that the video isn't posted on his own channel is likely just because the video isn't a Second Thought video, which has a very specific format. Why should he post it there?
Yes their podcast is called "The Deprogram" and you can check it out here. They all make great content, go check them out! I really liked Yugopnik's video about the commodification of people's romantic lives for example. It was very interesting and thought provoking, a very "Žižekian" approach.
He likes to act like a well meaning leftist, which he isn't.
That is your opinion. I like their content, they're thought provoking and entertaining. I don't agree with everything they claim but it's good stuff.
Dude is giving iffy vibes for a while now. Watch a few videos of his and a clear pattern emerges:
It's a perfectly fine channel to counter PragerU garbage, but don't take anything he says without a sack full of salt.
I disagree with your characterizations, especially about Nordic states. There was an entire episode criticizing the shortcomings of the Nordic model.
Most of the criticisms of capital are simply explanations of books that have gained attention and acclaim, and none conflates systemic criticism with conspiratorial intention.
