Disability, Capitalism & the Case for Revolution

£2.00

Available on back-order

Keir Starmer’s Labour government is launching an assault on disability benefits. Since the economic crash of 2008, successive governments have imposed austerity on working class people.  Among the services, facilities and benefits hardest hit have been those used by disabled people. And Labour ministers tell us the money saved on disability benefits is needed to build more arms. Welfare is being sacrificed to boost warfare. Why are disabled people under attack again? What exactly is disability? What’s behind disability discrimination, and how can we get rid of it? This pamphlet shows that the oppression of disabled people is rooted in a society designed to provide profits for a minority instead of meeting the needs of the majority. Capitalist society breeds war, oppression and massive environmental destruction. Liberation from its horrors demands revolutionary change.
