You said you vote, then say it's exhausting to look into socialist policies. Can you not extend the same effort you put into voting for local, state, and federal representatives and policies to your employer?

Opportunity costs. Time I spend on endless dialectics or whatever is time I'm spending making an effort to actually improve things.

Less time spent on figuring out where an issue fits into a made up framework means more time spent actually thinking about the issue and doing something about it.

I'm asking if you can put the same effort of voting for government shit into your employers. Not to research socialist schools of thought. The main socialist ideals that I'm aware of that I think have the most support are those for democratizing the workforce.
