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 mean, if you view them as owners, yes, and that's also the reality. But I want to argue there need to be good leaders.
What does good leadership have to do with the owning class?
Are you suggesting that by virtue of owning things they are good leaders?
No.
There are overlaps, but I'm tired of explaining nuances in this thread. I didn't even write the owning class is good leaders. I instead mean that I wish what OP labeled as the owning class gets replaced with good leaders.
I don't even think you need leaders at all, either. Decisions can be made by a collective, without necessitating a representative.
But, either way, how do you incentive "good" Capitalists? To become a Capitalist is to become an exploiter.
I'm out. Good luck with your view.
Edit: out because I don't see a sign you're ready to accept reality.
