huge victory against this euth*nasia Bill which all 350 Disabled People's Organisations in UK asked for input were strongly against! it'll be back again again soon enough (this is the NINTH attempt at legalisation in the last decade!) but big win for today regardless www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cq...

The bill would have allowed adults with fewer than six months to live to apply to be given help to end their own life, subject to certain safeguards.

anyone who's not on The Other App, there's currently yet another round of "left" eugenicist discourse, this time stemming from a predictably disingenuous post from *The Manhattan Institute* which misquotes a straightforwardly anti-eugenics 101 position from the Health Communism author. and ofc it's

some more quotes from here, this time on the subjectivising process of dis/ableism which helps to construct and maintain the othered status of the surplus class

"The UK has been on this trajectory since Thatcher’s neoliberal reforms of 1979 and the logic of privatisation and austerity intersects with and intensifies the logic of social murder. Descriptions of it as “slow” or “structural” or “bureaucratic” violence belie how widespread and relentless and effective this form of mass extermination of surplus populations truly is. We suggest what these phrases capture most of all is how tolerated this form of violence is; the social murder of the surplus class is demonstrably not objectionable enough to have been opposed by the proletariat, perhaps because its victims are so Othered: abject non-Subjects composed by various minoritised identities (read: non-white, non-male, non-cishetero, disabled, non-citizens, etc.), not the proper working class."

example 1: the ongoing p*ndemic and the overlap between sickness and disablement caused by State abandonment of public health and its planned shift to policies of euth*nasia instead

"The misconception of the pandemic having ended is so widespread in fact that it bears stating the obvious here: pandemics do not just end overnight. We have been in a global cholera pandemic since 1961, a HIV/AIDS pandemic since 1981, and arguably still remain in a pandemic of the 1918 (“Spanish”) flu.31

The primary purpose of ending the PHEIC was to permit state abandonment of public health response; furlough pay, vaccination programmes, testing programmes, sick leave, remote work, and accompanying reductions in consumption, travel, and spending were all an unacceptable cost to the capitalist economy, with UK government spending alone on pandemic measures alleged to have cost up to £410bn. The premature termination of the PHEIC is perhaps unsurprising when considering the WHO is a specialised agency of the United Nations and as such exists first and foremost as a tool of capitalist and imperialist exploitation as much as any other institution."

"Latest estimates suggest 5-10% of SARS-CoV-2 infections cause Long Covid, a catch-all for a wide range of chronic conditions which can affect almost every organ in the body – but perhaps is most destructive when causing myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), a complex and multisystemic chronic condition which can leave people entirely bedbound, yet is critically underdiagnosed, undertreated, and underfunded. Chloé, an epistemologist with severe ME, describes it as a “controversialised illness“, something “not so much ‘medically unexplained’ as it is rendered medically unintelligible”51; in other words it would threaten capital if medicine were to truly recognise the illness and its cause rather than simply decrying those affected by it as “lazy”, “malingerers”, etc. Long Covid intersects especially with our focuses on pandemic denial, healthcare cuts, medical violence, and attempted legalisation of assisted suicide because many ME patients are forced into “choosing” assisted suicide."

a reminder that social m*rder is not committed with equal intensity across all societal strata but rather preferentially applied by the State to the groups it deems undesirable—something often imbricated with 'vulnerability' (read: vulnerabilisation)

"It is important to clarify that the function of social murder is not to wage unlimited war on the proletariat – the bourgeoisie obviously requires the social reproduction of the class it exploits in order to continue its exploitation. Nor is social murder visited equally or indiscriminately across the proletariat; rather, specific sub-populations are preferentially targeted – for discipline, impoverishment, segregation, or extermination. In this way a surplus class is constituted as both “socially dead”3 and “marked out for wearing out”4. We find useful the naming of this process by Chris Grover as “violent proletarianisation“5; i.e. the use (and threat) of structural violence is to force people into commodifying their labour power. He argues in fact this process is the primary force which simultaneously constitutes not just the surplus class but the working class as well; in other words, defining who is able to sell their labour vs who is not."

"Disabled people are a central part of the surplus class, being failed subjects of violent proletarianisation and subsequently victims of social murder. In Health Communism, Beatrice Adler-Bolton & Artie Vierkant argue that the “production of death under capitalism” is the “ultimate conclusion of capital’s violence” and identify the surplus class as being particularly vulnerable to social murder.6 We reframe the intention here more explicitly: rather than the surplus class being happenstantially overrepresented victims of social murder due to their vulnerability, that vulnerability is itself socially produced and thus capitalist policies which kill vulnerabilised people function just as if they were expressly created to target them, regardless of the stated intention.

We view social murder as a highly dynamic process, deploying a range of strategies with varying intensities against shifting definitions of non-desirable groups at different times."
