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.

Unlike the communistic system where the political leaders use the system to enrich themselves?
Obviously both are purely economic ideas that can't exist in their ideologicsl state in reality. It's fair to say that capitalism scales better than communism. Everyone is communistic within a family, "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" fits perfectly within the realm of family. Private ownership according to your contribution works very well in the realm of society.
An actually communist system would not have leaders that could enrich themselves, because communism entails the absence of private property. (including money, owning means of production that aren't directly from solely your own efforts, etc)
I wouldn't call myself a communist, but even I know this.
