    Again,all for the workers. I'm suggesting more inclusive language and ideas. It should not be a 'workers' world, but world without exploitation or (excessive? The current paradigm of personal?) ownership.

    Most of the work I've done that mattered for more than five minutes was with people that had been thrown away by society and excluded from literally emergency rooms, you could set one of them outside a reported shooting and if the paramedics showed up before the cops, they would see them and probably just leave. A scared mostly useless kid who had read a lot of moral but not much explicitly political philosophy tossed out into the world. I ended up reading some theory later, but mostly I critically analyzed shit-mostly systems. I have fav philosophers, but not many favs who pitch particular politics. broadly speaking, partially from my time working with tech shit, I'm a principled illegalist. I tend to prefer looking at shit myself to trusting some dusty fuck who's been dead for centuries, and use them mostly as jumping off points instead of foundations. Neitzsche might be the exception, that one's in there pretty deep, fav philosopher, would absolutely go back in time to punch him in the face, might stop baby Hitler with adoption paperwork or something while I'm there IDK.

    More recently I've been painfully confronted with the fact that nobody changes unless they want to, and they never seem to want to, contemporaneous with some major losses and trauma, so for the past couple years I dunno exactly what I believe, except that some people will get very angry if you tell them the truth or treat them with respect, and also literally everything is sometimes literally on fire.

    Who are you and what do you believe? Because it sounds like you only asked this so you could know how to appeal to me.
