    Capitalism is a clear and present danger to people with disabilities.

    Assisted dying is just a way for people to try and mitigate some of the problems inherent in capitalism.

      If you’re suffering from something that can’t be cured, capitalism isn’t the problem.

      You can live in the best socialist utopia anyone can imagine, but if your particular condition can’t be cured or treated, you’re suffering. Suffering is universal.

        https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_model_of_disability

        Tl;Dr the model points to the fact that often the most disabling thing about a disability is how society treats the individual. It is not claiming that physical limitations do not exist, just that it is often in fact things like access problems that truly isolate the disabled.

        For example, what is at fault when a ramp is not provided to enter a building, the unavoidable disability that requires a wheelchair, or exclusionary design?

        You can also see this in action on this very “leftist” community when the fake progressives defend sub-minimum wage.

        sometimes societies frameworks are the root cause of societies issues, disabled people aren’t generally a profitable market.

          Yeah, I get it, but “caPiTliSM” in every goddamned reply is getting old, and diluting the argument.
