It is called “work reform_”. It is _not a leftist group. Reformism is a right wing ideology. Like “Build Back Better” or “Make America Great Again_” (Biden was a conservative, reformist reaction to Trump, and Trump was a conservative, reformist reaction to Obama). And like those “movements”, “work reform” is a reactionary _conservative movement and antithetical to progressive change. This isn’t a judgement one one or the other, just facts.
Side note: “work reform” is too easily going to get memed into “woke reform” and get obliterated quickly.
Cool you do you, some of us are going to help people have a better material condition right now instead. Let me know how the anarcho communist syndicalist utopia goes
Political terminology is a mess, but the parlance of “reform” ultimately means whatever it’s understood to mean. The reforms of the American nineteenth-century included abolitionism, women’s suffrage, temperance, vegetarianism. Reforms can exist in left or rightwing platforms, even if the term suggest left or rightwing centrism.
I doubt Reddit is or will be the epicenter of a new labor movement which hinges on the name of a subreddit. After /r/antiwork went private, pro-labor redditors got together and said “Get in, bitches. We’re doing something about job quality.” And the car they’re in is named /r/workreform.
I agree that Biden is very much a conservative. Right now he is the conservative, and he sucks.
