". The ΕU is deliberately concealing the class-based causes of the problems of people with disabilities. They must step up their fight against the policy of capital. Many would not be disabled today if there were health and safety measures in places of work and business, if there were only free public health systems and rehabilitation centres integrated into them without any business activity. On the contrary, further decoupling of disabilities from health services is proposed, taking the anti-grassroots Maastricht and Lisbon decisions as given. Certain individual measures appear to be positive. However, they mostly facilitate privatisations and maximisation of the profit of capital, by methodically eliminating resistance from disabled and grassroots movements. No mention is made of the obligation of states to provide special, free schools for all disabled children, work with full rights for those able to work and special care and protection. The employment of disabled persons is mentioned in tandem with cuts to benefits, rather than with the right to work and protection. No mention is made of the rights won in the former socialist countries, which capitalism is taking away. How many disabled persons used to go to school and how many go now. How many were in work under socialism and how many are in work now. What capital is interested in is in forming elites in organisations of the disabled, so that it can lead them by the hand. The disabled must view talk about 'equal rights' and 'combating discrimination' with distrust: the aim is to extend the privatisation and commercialisation of social policy, thereby harming the disabled and the poor, grassroots classes."@en1
