They cling to the bourgeois state and want to preserve it and still claim to be leftist. They are more worried about keeping it alive and having its welfare benefits than actually setting up a state of their own
This logic brings our movement straight into reactionary thinking. Someone who needs “welfare benefits” can also fight for socialism. It’s absurd to claim that those who need social assistance “cling to the bourgeois state.” This is the worst form of ableism too because it asserts that people who have special needs to be inherently reactionary.
Sorry. I was not thinking very well at that moment. I needed to post something.
Yes it is very important that disabled people are taken care of, and not only that, but all people are taken care of. I just see that, when people talk about voting, they are in such a state of mind where the bourgeois state is the primary focus, instead of trying to build mutual aid and Red Aid groups.
I was thinking of U.S. welfare-capitalists, who are prominent in Cascdia, and who are very well-intentioned. Trying to get the state to help the disabled, let alone to do anything good at all, is trying to get blood from a stone.
