There's so much theory revolving around workers in leftism, but I've never read or watched anything about how I can fight how oppressive the social security system is as someone who can't work.

This is something we should talk about more.
But just to be very clear, obviously don't make detailed and specific plans on social media. I'm just saying that social security, especially wrt but not limited to disabled people, is part of capitalist colonialism and is an oppressive power that should be challenged.
I want marriage rights. I want income above the poverty line. I want to be able to save. I want housing and accessible food. And I want *everyone* to have access to these things. And I don't want that access to be constantly questioned or eroded.
I also don't want a hierarchical division between those of us who were previously able to work and those of us who have never been able to. I don't want our value to be determined by production.
And that's really just beginning when it comes to all the disability rights issues that need solving and theorizing on. I want to see disabled people empowered and fighting back.
