Able-bodied leftists NEED to change the way they talk about service labor.

They'll talk over and over again about treating workers with respect and shit but then treat service work as inherently humiliating or exploitative, as if that inherently reduced those workers to feudal servants or some shit who need to be freed not of capitalist abuses, but of service itself.

"Who would want to service others?!" Well, bitches, if I had the physical capacity for it and the conditions under which service labor exists in a capitalist society weren't so deplorable, I would!

I already do a lot of things for my also physically disabled family that, if I wasn't related to them and they were paying me, would absolutely count as care and service work. I like it! I enjoy servicing others when I'm treated by them with respect and a minimum of reciprocity.

There will ALWAYS be people who'll need service labor from others, no matter how utopic of a communist society. Children, the sick and injured, elderly people, and disabled people will always exist. Even if you try to breed disabled people out, we will keep reappearing over and over again, no matter how many fetal genetic testings you develop and how many of us you sterilize and murder.

What are you gonna do about us in a communist society? Are we supposed to magically become able-bodied and not need accommodations once the revolution arrives? Are you going to kill us so we don't demand Awful labor that you deem too low for anybody to perform? Why do you see service as inherently humiliating and exploitative?

If you feel perfectly ok using devices made with child labor and wearing clothes made by sweatshop workers because "there's no ethical consumption under capitalism", why is that different when disabled people pay for service labor in a capitalist society?

Why are WE different? Why is your need to tweet on a device made with child labor and wear cute clothes made in sweatshops more ethically justifiable than, I don't know... A person who can't leave their house getting FOOD delivered to them? FUCKING FOOD. An actual vital necessity. Why is it that when able-bodied leftists can't escape the unethical nature of capitalism that's ok, but when disabled people can't escape it EVEN HARDER because we LITERALLY HAVE NO CHOICE then we're the enemies of the working class?

Get a fucking grip. Service labor and care labor aren't inherently exploitative, they turn exploitative under exploitative systems, and some people will always need that from others TO SURVIVE. Not to be whimsical lazy parasites, TO SURVIVE.

Service labor is just as noble and beautiful as producing needed material goods or working the land, it's NECESSARY for any and all societies, and just like disabled people have a right to complain when healthcare workers fail us, we have a right to complain when service workers fail us because it's not a fucking whim to us, IT'S JUST AS VITAL AS MEDICAL CARE.

I dont look beautiful. I know I don't and there is really no way you can convince me I do. I have a nose that's not what fits the standards. I have front teeth that are way too much on front. I have a long face. I don't have a pageant smile. I lose whenever I compare myself to her. I have flaws on the outside that you judge me for and it's okay, that's the kind of society we live in.

But it's weird that inspite of knowing this fact, I feel beautiful. I feel beautiful when I am writing. I feel beautiful when I am having a hot cup of coffee after studying continuously. I feel beautiful when I step on the terrace and my headache stops throbbing. I feel beautiful when I sign my name at the end of a poem or when I put my face or my hand in the rain. I feel it when I am so tired I sleep without any thoughts. When I have cried for way too long and my face shines and I don't have any tears to cry anymore. I feel it when my skinny jeans fits me perfectly and I can't stop staring myself in the mirror, with hair down and messy. I feel beautiful when I laugh at the inside jokes I have with myself. When I am alone, just thinking and the thoughts make sense and I am able to pen it down. I feel beautiful when someone likes it. I feel it when I am done with the day's work. I feel it when I think of future even though it's becoming rare lately. I can't see future as clearly as I did. But there are moments, I see myself and I have made it and I am alive. Wearing those skinny jeans and walking with my hands in my pocket on a now silent at 2 am New York Street. I feel beautiful when I think of it.

But this beauty is what no one appreciates anymore. Everyone wants everyone to be kind, beautiful from inside. But the problem is, neither does anyone respect that beauty nor does anyone know to value it.

So does this feeling of beautiful matter?

As often as not, I like to think it does. To me, it does.
