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.

You still have not provided a metric that can be used for any basis of comparison. I can play that game too!
You mean the computing project that is built on fundamentally anarchist ideas that is currently being appropriated and destroyed by capitalist interests?
You mean the field of science pioneered by Nikolay Vladimirovich Timofeev-Ressovsky in fascist Germany and expanded on his return to the USSR?^1^
I live in a capitalist country. I can not afford medicine.
I can tell that's the media that you seem to exclusively consume, but that is far from the universal experience you think it is.
This is not the contradiction you think it is, look into it more.
It is deflecting and this is the thought terminating cliche I called before you used it.
China is communist when it's convenient for your position and capitalist when it's inconvenient? Define your terms and stop with the goalpost moving. I defined metrics for 2 of your arguments which you susequently immediately dropped and deflected to some other cliche. Your turn.
By what metric do you compare?
^1 I am intentionally misrepresenting some things here, but surprise me and demonstrate some research skills.^
It's so funny that you are the exact cliche and unsubstantiated claim generator that you project on me. Ah well, you enjoy your closed bubble, I'm not bothered enough to help you any more. I'll let you have the last word now.
Did you gloss over where I said "I can play that game too."? The point was to hold up a mirror for you.
You could've tried substantiating your claims.
You could've tried defining a metric of comparison.
Instead you accuse me of not being "open-minded" to your mindless mantras that you hold close and refuse to evaluate.
