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 US used to be a world leader in anti-fascism. There's even those old-timey films explaining how letting it in would ruin the American way.

anti-fascism or anti competing fascism?
Isn't manifested destiny already fascism?

Because the American Way™ competed with fascism about many of the same things. It is not the brag you think it is.
Eeeh... It was only anti-fascism as in "anti-others" (who happened to be fascists in a way they differentiated from). The US has been real fucking bad from the very start and there hasn't been a single moment where that stopped. I can't see a single period where it isn't the modern day meaning of fascist. Yeah, the civil war was won by the better part but it wasn't a "good vs evil" black and white thing, because nothing is like that in reality. Faschism is deeply ingrained in the US and has always been so, especially when it comes to politicians, military, police force etc.
They even called out Alexander Hamilton for being a proto-fascist.
Then that one Wall Street fuckwad wrote a book about him filled with lies and eventually turned it into a play.
If you want a hero in the founding fathers, look up Aaron Burr
And T-Paine while you're at it!
