Marta Russell (1951-2013), the US based writer, activist and leading critical thinker, argued that disability was not a medical condition or impairment, but a ‘socially created category derived from labor relations, a product of the exploitative economic structure of capitalist society’. Disabled bodies are useful only to the extent that they create value. Capitalist social norms both demarcate who is and is not disabled in contemporary society, and at the same time oppress the disabled body. It is productivity and profits that dictate restrictions on the disabled, as well as what limited adjustments may be facilitated for the disabled to better ‘fit’ social structures. Disabled bodies are viewed as a problem. In relation to work, Connor and Coughlin argue that they are often an ‘inevitable part of the “surplus” population, not quite fully human, unable to participate in society, at best a burden and at worst a drain’.
One of the many things we can learn from the recent elections in the United States is that the socialist revival which began there a few years ago, spearheaded first by Bernie Sanders in the Senate and then by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) in the House, has by no means run out of steam. The small but energetic Democratic Socialists of America contingent within the House Democrats, and in roles within the states and communities, has not gone away. Sanders and AOC continue to be very vocal and visible in political debate and action from their socialist perspectives. The widely anticipated Republican wave not only failed to sweep away mainstream Democrats; it also failed to dislodge the socialists.
