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.

I highly doubt USSR 1930s onwards was ever an attempt to make socialism work. Especially after Lenin's death.
The remark about USSR being only an attempt at communism is verbose, and questionably required. I never attacked socialism's ideas.
Just by numbers, a lot more innocents' murdering happened in Soviet Union. Double digit millions if not more over its existence. There is just no whataboutism that can save that piece of fascist wreck of a state.
I merely wanted the idea by @uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone that the Soviet Union "Had good ideas" to die in a fire.
Otherwise, good points.
In my top-of-thread comment, I didn't mention the USSR at all other than to say it was trying something other than capitalism, and that trying something else was inspiring Americans in the early 20th century. Now I suspect you're not engaged in this dialogue in good faith.
Soviet Union === USSR
I didnt read his posts as "USSR had some good ideas"
