“Any person who thinks that a $15 minimum wage is the ‘crazy socialist agenda’ is living in a dystopian capitalist nightmare.” -@AOC pic.twitter.com/yIUw1NyQco— Justice Democrats (@justicedems) March 1, 2021
The concept of a minimum wage is to discourage independent working class action, by using the bourgoies state as the proxy for class struggle. With strong unions, you don't need a minimum wage. Many unions have already secured high "minimum wages" through their independent struggle. You must try to unionize your workplace and achieve wage increases that way, instead of trying to rely on the bourgeois state. It is actually easier that way, and more effective in the long term in building a working class movement.
