Agism is just another way the Billionaire Class uses to divide the Working Class.

The reason you will never hear a working class conservative complain about the billionaire class screwing them is because conservatives have always been the foot-soldiers of the billionaire class.

If not for conservatives, the normal people would be permitted to charge billionaires with crimes, force them to pay proper taxes and make them pay fair wages. If not for conservatives, the normal people would be able to unionize and to protest.

Without conservatives, workers would have mandatory sick time, mandatory time off, protections from wage theft and protections from improper dismissal.

Without conservatives, the normal people could address wealth inequality.

The boss cannot be defeated until his foot-soldiers are dead.

Conservatives also usually are conservatives because they get some sort of treats from the system. They're white or a man who's not gay or GNC. The benefit from economic oppression hitting women and minorities harder than their privileged group and that allows them to have power over people beneath them.

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.
