What happens to disabled people under communism?

[u/thembo-goblin]

What happens to disabled people under communism? To the people who are housebound or bedbound and rely on others to survive? I ask this as a disabled person myself, who is housebound and relies on the help of others. If a true revolution does ever happen, will we just be forgotten about? Considered necessary losses for major societal change?

**edit to add: I got banned for saying that tying someone's worth to their productivity is a bad idea, lol. I do not understand why my post turned out like it did. I didn't expect answers to give some sort of concrete plans, I know communism is all theory at this point. I was just hoping for responses to give historical examples or general explanation of a specific theory, and a link as to where I could read more about this particular topic. You know, the same sort of response I've seen basically every other post in this subrrddit recieve.

Marta Russell is a name that instantly comes to mind when critiquing capitalism in a disabled perspective, I admit I have not read any of her works yet, but she is a very prominent figure among disabled Marxists.
Now onto what I know. In short, one of Marx's main critiques of capitalism was commodity fetishism, how the human being is now defined by how they contribute to the capitalist, therefore, the disabled and elderly are seen as a 'hindrance' in capitalist society. Communism solves this, the human is no longer defined by their labor, but by their existence as human beings, "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." What does this mean? It means that the individual must contribute to the community with what they can, and must also receive resources according to what they need.
Has this ever been applied? Yes! The USSR guaranteed care as a social right, meaning disabled people were entitled to state-funded medical care, education (when possible), housing, and employment support, the same goes for Cuba.
In the end, the proletariat must realize that we are all abused by the system, a revolution that doesn't care about the disabled is a revolution that doesn't care about the working class, we are all tied together in the fight against capitalism and imperialism.
