      No I mean what if you're not working. What if you're disabled and can't work?

      I suppose one could argue that this would technically not be "working class," but I think the interests of non-wealthy disabled people align a hell of a lot more with the working class than the owning class. I'd be happy to say "proletariat" instead, if that's more inclusive

      You pretty much have to be wealthy in the current society to live decently with certain conditions. Look at the quality of wheelchairs poor disabled people have to use. Should we reappropriate those from disabled people with inherited wealth For Equality?

      No, we reappropriate the wealth from billionaires and use it to get everyone who needs one a decent wheelchair. And not for "equality," for MORALITY

      I think you're raising the concern that socialism will get all eugenics-y with disabled people. I can only say that we're over here talking about Denmark-style social democracy, not the Khmer Rouge, and working together to help people is the ENTIRE point

      Okay well let's be blunt here if you yourself who knows what "socialism" means keep saying "socialism" but then turn around and say to only realistically expect "Nordic-style social democracy" then somebody is being lied to

      Is it a lie to say "I believe in socialism. I also believe the kind of fundamental economic change that will require is a multigenerational project, and for now we can have little a social democracy, as a treat"? Also, are YOU saying that socialism=khmer rouge?

      Well, it kind of is a lie, actually, yes When someone says "I don't like the path I think you're going down", it's not actually an answer to say "But it will take us a long time to get there!"

      Okay, then I will also say that I'm not supporting taking us down the path to eugenics and forced sterilization. I don't suppose you know which kind of economic system innovated those practices

      I'm saying that whether you frame it as "capitalist" or "socialist" plenty of people have reasons to be wary of any ideology or tendency that valorizes work above all else and emphasizes "a man is entitled to the sweat of his own brow"

          When people point to the Khmer Rouge and go "Well they may have fervently believed they were communists but their actions ended up being reactionary in practice" I'm like... Yeah That happens

          But also, it wasn't communism that made them reactionary. Their reactionary practices were innovated by capitalism. So what you're saying is not a valid critique of medicare 4 all

          Hey, dude, did you know there has been over 170 years of theoretical development since the manifesto, and that even if there hadn't been you still would have been stuffing a straw man in my mouth?

          Yeah I've pointed out before that Ayn Rand can be read as a very weird kind of t*nkie (while also acknowledging that something like her appeals to individualism and also trains undergird my own politics)
