As Labour launch an assault on disability benefits, I found this essay by @jonasmarvin.bsky.social refreshingly indignant and powerfully moving. proletarianblues.substack.com/p/the-party-...

This by @jonasmarvin.bsky.social in @newpolitics.bsky.social is from back in August, when Britain’s far right was perpetrating pogroms on our streets. Raised some really important issues powerfully. newpol.org/four-theses-...

For communists, we need to develop a vision of good health, social freedom and postwork which combines the politics of repair and revolution, shorn from an embattled vision of social democracy. The rise of the Trumpian Make America Healthy Again is more than a warning shot. 4/5

The 'Get Britain Working' paper tells the sick, the disabled and the ageing that you are going to be made healthy again with weight-loss jabs, workplace MOTs and job coaches on hospital wards, just so that we can get you back on the labour market, making Britain grow again. 3/5

The Assisted Dying Bill takes an abstract right and divorces the choice over premature death from the mediations which shape it: social misery, organised abandonment, ableism and a vicious care sector. It provides capitalism with an answer to the cost of demographic ageing. 2/5

It's key to grasp the Assisted Dying Bill and the DWP's 'Get Britain Working' paper as two sides of the same coin. We live in a world where older, sicker populations are less productive and cost more. Both pieces of legislation provide capitalism some answers to those issues. 1/5
