      That's not true. Discourse about ableism has been used in ways that are detrimental to the left, but what you're saying goes too far imo

      ABLEIST

      A made up word by Karl Kautsky in 1914.

      Word was used to browbeat all dissenters of the social democrat ideology.

      Still used to this day in the west to shut down all anti-capitalists.

      FACT CHECKED✅☑️✔️

      Ableism was invented to destroy any leftist movement.

      Rating: False

      Explanation: Ableism is a form of discrimination and social prejudice against people with physical or mental disabilities. It is not a concept invented to destroy leftist movements. Ableism is rooted in societal attitudes and structures that devalue and marginalize people with disabilities, and it has historical and systemic dimensions that are not tied to the specific goal of undermining leftist movements. The origins and manifestations of ableism are complex and multifaceted, involving cultural, economic, and political factors that predate and transcend any particular ideological movement.
