    It was a tactical decision to turn people off of socialism/communism.

    I think you’ll find it’s no longer needed.

          I mean Zohran Mamdani’s victory seems to show a developing change.

                What does that have to do with anything?

                  I mean that I don’t really want to argue about this with you because it’s a waste of time. If being a socialist obligatorily means opposing reform or deeming it contrary to revolution, I don’t want to be a socialism, and neither would Marx.

                    It doesn’t also Marx was a communist, he just saw socialism as a necessary step towards communism. The same way capitalism was a step towards it.

                    But that doesn’t automatically make all capitalists and socialists communists.

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.
