    The reform we need is:

    • Better labour rights
    • Reducing the oligarchy’s influence
    • Curtailing of fascist influence and algorithms
    • Safeguarding ecologics and diversity
    • Massive affordable house building projects
    • Lower rent and energy self-sufficency
    • Regulating immigration without deportation apartheid for normal people.
    • An end to the surveillance state
    • Reduction of police powers
    • Deporting all fascists to Antarctica. They can stay there for all I care.

      That is all a hell of a good start. To get there, a populist political movement could easily pick some of the worst offenders, of big business, the rich, exploiting people with impunity. Call them out, personally. Look at what other illegal things the people exploiting working people unfairly do, call that out, promise to fix it, etc. Call out some abuses of the government, and parts of the government abusing their power likewise.

      You wouldn’t have to pick a fight with everyone to start. But you would have to pick a fight with some of them. In the US obviously starting with health care and drugs would be a good spot, but there are countless other areas they could go.

      France idk exactly, but I know the banks are always bastards, and partially behind upping the retirement age, even while the rich are getting their tax breaks they refuse to pay more to fund the pensions of groups that already paid into their pensions, whose excess paid in was likely siphoned off and spent on such tax breaks, then when there is a shortfall they reduce benefits instead of paying back that excess they in effect stole. I presume. You would know where to start better than I just spitballing here.
