If you call yourself a progressive, socialist, communist, marxist, or leftist, but propagate ableist and anti-disabled views, attack the rights of the disabled, bully the disabled & exclude the disabled, you’re not a progressive, socialist, communist, marxist, or leftist. Sorry.
If you don’t stand in solidarity with the disabled community you actually don’t stand in solidarity with anyone. Not with the working class & not with other oppressed groups.
Ableism isn’t a Leftist ideal.
Listen to your disabled comrades and learn something.
