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.

Bro I just said I don't want diabetics to pay 300usd per month for insulin jfc
China which is... also capitalism, but instead of CEOs there's The Party
And there is only one Party. Either you're in, or you're in the way.
Sounds pretty familiar
Nahh mate we got a choice in the US 🤡
Well, technically speaking, if it's the same shit from the same ass but you can chose your favorite buttcheek, you do have a choice.
Up until recently you really did. US citizens decided to not have it, so who knows in the future, but you really did.
American really cannot do comparative analysis, they believe that their country is the only one in the world and very unique, so it's hard for american brain to comprehend that some countries are better at something and some are worse. They need to be either the best or the worst.
Not in my life time... or ever really. Political process is captured by the two party regime.
Do you want to get fucked and dirty or slow?
This attitude betrays that you never actually engaged with it besides reading about a candidate 2 minutes before casting a vote that one time and never again.
US is a stone’s throw from these groups becoming one and the same.
The median cost for a daily dose of insulin in China is $0.59.
How dare we want our country to be better and for our fellow citizens to not die in cartoonishly preventable ways? /s
Not to mention that those same people will post shit about “why are we helping foreigners when people at home are suffering”-sorry stop me if you’ve heard this one ten-thousand times before.
"I'm just gonna hit the pause button right there, bud. The US government doesnt help people."
Big pharma got the patent mate... Respect the law, shitlord
