newsflash, assholes, people who dont work deserve just as much say in business and just as much remuneration as people who do work. really pisses me off sometimes how people with physical or mental challenges are often sidelined implicitly using this dumbass 1800s logic

I don't have any real issues one way or another with your first sentence, but I'm not entirely sure that the second sentence is a legitimate concern.

our current definition of work is tightly intertwined with how work functions within our capitalist system. in a system where the jobs are worker-controlled, labour would be completely different, to the extent that one could feasibly take issue with it being referred to by the same word.

there are things that disabled people can do. a big part of organizing a socialist system in general is deciding how best to allocate labour. I do believe that, with proper implementation, everyone would be able to contribute something

I disagree with a lot of the things in this essay, but it's good, and it does present an interesting way of thinking about that organization:
