I'm gonna babble a bit more about this.
The supremacy of the nobody. The notion that people who have nothing can collectively band together and use their force of will to change the world for the better.
I don't care about Steve Jobs, I care about the hundreds of people who worked for him and actually invented things and endured his abuse creating these wonderful gadgets. I care about the people who toil away endlessly so we can have luxury goods.
I also deeply hold that the workplace is where we have the least freedom and deserve the most. We should be able to fire our bosses if they are incompetent. Receive fair pay for fair work, and use our collective power to speak freely about where we are. Everyone talks about the government stealing their rights, but watch how quickly you lose your house if you say something your boss doesn't like, even though your boss has -nothing- without you.
Also, radical inclusion. Hardcore social justice antiracist all that stuff. Understanding that we need solidarity not charity. I have common cause with racialized queer or trans or disabled or other equity-deserving peoples. We fight together.
