The workerist glorification of manual labor is not an ideology friendly to the physically disabled, to say nothing of the fact that physically taxing labor -- especially if it's repetitive & for a long haul -- inevitably disables workers sooner or later.

Reject the workerist conception of human worth, for the sake of the disabled at least. The rejection of workerism should go together with that of productivism (production for the sake of production, driven by M-C-M') as well.

workers of the world, unite, and take it easy,
