Ableism has been used for generations to degrade, oppress, control and disappear disabled and non-disabled people alike.
Setting aside manufactured disability, there arecommunity. More importantly, disability is highly disproportionately present in marginalized and multiply-marginalized communities because of oppression, dispossession, exploitation, violence and trauma via colonialism and capitalism.
. It goes without saying that those living at the intersections of disability and other marginalized identities fare far worse.Capitalism relies on ableism. Those with power created, control and require capital to meet basic human needs. They’ve spent generations harming humans; they hoard wealth, extract labor and block certain people from earning decent wages, ensure that others’ wages are depressed or voided, and punish those who will not or cannot work.
Those who are harmed by capitalism are pushed out of formal/legal economies; economically, socially and politically disenfranchised; and their lives or labor extracted or commodified in yet other ways. They may become “dependent” on the public and/or engage in informal/illegal economies, any of which earns them public shame and ire.
