Like where will they work and how will they work, and i'm talking about mentally handicapped too...where will they go when they cannot work....or aid to the country?
I think they should be taught a trade which is easy for some mental cases....but what about the ones where they have the intelligence of an infant? where do they go?

Well firstly they will be treated much better with a socialist or communist system than they would with a capitalist system (in Australia a company called Cumberland Industries pays disabled people a tiny amount, I don't wanna be up for libel or anything, but let's just say I'd make more by selling oysters in a carpark in 40 degrees celsius).
I guess it would be best to give them jobs that are appropriate for their condition, those which you say have the intelligence of an infant could still work, obviously with a lower ability, but they would have a greater need and should be provided with all that they need, even if their work output if significantly less than what is needed to keep them living comfortably and provide the proper care, sure it would be a bit of an expense, but there are very few disabled person compared with idle hands, it must be borne in mind that after a revolution a lot of untapped labour potential will be allowed to work (unemployed people, armed forces a la MBR 2000 in Venezuela, the clergy perhaps, middle management, bureaucrats, the list goes on).
Retirement for disabled persyns may be a lot earlier than for able-bodied workers, but what does this mean? Simply it means that there will be a need for a bit more resources to be directed into disability care, but the once idle now working hands will easily cover the costs.
During their retirement (which IMO will be still a productive time in all peoples lifes in socialism, just scaled back) disabled persyns will be of tremendous benefit in many ways, I may offend some people here, but, disabled persyns with the intelligence of an infant would be a good influence on children and would help the children develop a sense of the equality of all humyns.
Please criticise if you feel you need to, these are just opinions I came up with on the spot

I agree with Ian R, appropriate jobs could be found for pople who are handicapped, and if they are severly disabled and are deemed to be unfortunate enough as not to work then they should be able to live off the state, as Ian said, there will be plenty of new potential workers as people previously unemployed under capitalism will work.

Disabled people should be paid as much as any other person, and should be given jobs (if possible) which they can do, if a person is confined to a wheel chair, but can use a computer proficiently then UI see no reason why they should not be able to get a job in that field.
My aunt had MS (multipul schlorosis(s/p)) and she was a collage proffessor, to the point when she died, by then she had no use of her legs, but she still was a great teacher.

This small sentence sums up my entire view on this topic:
From each, according to his ability; to each, according to his needs.
From each, according to his ability: A disabled worker can do as much work as he or she thinks they are capable of, and will not be forced by the state to do more work than the person thinks they are capable of, and the state will not turn away a disabled worker because the state thinks that the person is not capable of doing the job. the job will be adapted around the person.
To each, according to his needs: The person will be given full support by the state, based on the extent of their disability. The state will provide financial, moral, and material support to the person, so that the negative effects of the disability on the persons life are minimalized. Places where the person wants to work will be adapted so that the person can work there, eg ramps, lifts etc for wheelchair users.
I strongly believe that disabled persons have an extremely important role to play in the development of a socialist state.

I agree with the posts above, but I especially like the way Comrade ElRuso1967 phrased it.
The mentally disabled are capable of certain physical tasks, and also even intellectual work. Think about autism--poor people skills, but great capacity for mathematics and science.
The physically disabled are also capable of intellectual work--just look at Stephen Hawking.

i like all of your suggestions...they were what i was leaning towards..because i saw a documentary with a 18 yearold student who had down syndrom and he was taught how to do laundry and how to keep a place clean (Janitoral skills) i think that should be how it is in a country....
i wrote a paper for my civics class about what i'd do with my own country...and i said that anyone with disabilites would be taught to compensate for that and aid society....(Got an A) and the teacher liked my ideals* :D
but now i'm thinking of people who've maybe suffered an acciedent and like paralized completley and cant even chew their own food? do they just get a nice little house and food from the government?
Hey, that'd be fine for me, because who would want to put a handicapped person on the streets?

Theres many people in a similar position, needing similar full-time care. That is old people, the difference between capitalist and communist society is that in capitalist society you often rely on your own finances for your care.

By disabled I hope you are reffering to the differently abled right? These post have a good view towards things though. Dont forget that those who are unable to perform a job may require someone to take care of them. Staffing for the hospital or institute. This will also creat more jobs, giving those workers fufilment and satisfaction from helping others.

I thought also that. And I think that if a person can't do anything he would get his own assistant. A work for someone. Everyone has a right to enjoy their life even if they couldn't do anything for society.

I also agree with ElRuso. It's a disgusting shame how we treat disabled individuals in this country. The right is openly against euthanasia yet it seems they've no objection to abandonment. The larger part of homeless people in the United States suffer from some form of disorder. Gah. Their morals are as malleable as the gold they believe them cast of.
If an individual is capable of a job, or duty, they should by all means be entitled to it. The ability of a person has nothing to do with their physical capacity, yet much-needed support and direction - much like the rest of us.
But when this debate arises, there is always the question of the extreme cases of disability. What of the unconcious, unaware, individuals? Would these people fall under the 'euthanasia' catergory? Or is there some form of moral objection to this as well? I'm not sure where I stand here, exactly. I've often thought it unfair for a person who must suffer in extreme cases as such be forced to live by will of the many.
Any comments?

NOW LOOK AT HOW IRONIC AND FUNNY THAT IS, AND YOUR TRIPPING ON ME
He says, he if you talk about killing disabled people, I'll Kill you! WTF, No One sees the Irony in that??
But as to my beliefs.. no matter how dogmatic you feel about your PC-ness and Left Beliefs NATURE is above all.. at all times... Current Society is not a different naure, becuase nature is nature is nature.. its a controlled environment, that operates in MANY MANY way against nature.
I believe in nature, above all. If a person cant naturally survive like everyone else, then they shouldnt be given any special treatment, if they cant survive without special treatment then they don't survive. Thats natural selection. We're the only animal that gives more support to the worst of our species than to the best and brightest.
Its unatural it makes no sense. Nature is designed so only the best and brightest will reproduce, to keep the species at status quo or even improve..
The problem with our 'advanced' society is that we support ALL life, even the worst and slowest.. and thats why we have been slowly degenerating as a species, and will continue to, untill we decide to move forward..
Does this mean I believe all people with mental handicaps or very low IQ's should be killed? Nope.. this means any time a person can't survive like the rest of us and has nothing to contribute to society should not be supported by society.. let nature take its corse.. + to each according to their NEED

Red Flag, one of the great socialist leaders of the 20th Century said that the aim of socialism is to increase the power of man over nature.
Technology and science has afforded us to beat nature in many way, it has afforded us to stay warm when nature makes it cold, to move further and faster than we naturally can and so on. We have the ability to look after those that need it, when people become sick and would naturally die off we can protect them and prolong their life, bring people back from almost certain death. We do what is most advantageous to the human race, regardless of what nature would like to dictate.
One of these things that we like to do is afford life to those who find it difficult to live. At the moment science-technology enables humans to correct the illness and thus create a more wholesome life for individuals such as the child who's picture was posted in this thread. Ultimately we will be able to turn such children into fully capable human beings so they can enjoy life fully, at the moment the best and most humane we can do is to look after them. We do this for the family of those children. If my child had a terrible illness such as this I can assure you I would not look kindly on you saying you want to have them killed.
I agree it is ignorant to call you a fascist and a Nazi, you said you came here for serious debate, well from some people you will get it, and some people you won't. This board is representative of the same level of thought that is so evidently diverse in society.
Indeed, our societies should look for efficiency and productivity to make sure human resource and effort is not wasted and that we can further our development as much as possible. However, there is a point that you can take this concept far out of proportion, that is killing people. Humans do exert extra effort prolonging life and making people safe.

I don't see what "pro-life" has to do with this. Why don't you use modern medicine? That's just ridiculous. Survival of the fittest doesn't just mean physical, it means mental too. Not using technology goes against your own ideology.

What is nature? How many people actually live in the wilderness? Not that many. People today don't need to be able to survive in 'nature' as in the forest. They need to survive in the nature that is our current society. Just because a person is physically disabled and maybe needs help to live, does that mean they can't contribute to society? Of course not. Society would just be shooting itself in the foot.

You said people think that the the Jews victimisation in the holocaust was eugenics... that about sums up your insight into the world. The Nazis did practice eugenics, and although they did not kill Jews specifically for eugenics, it was acutally related since they saw Jews as racial pollutants and undesirable in respect to their genes, thus breeding them out of the human race was necessary. Firstly you denied that eugenics was not related to the eugenics aspecy of the holocaust and then cited that most people wrongly believe it is.
I would suggest eugenics was a science that did affect the holocuast in its Jewish aspect to some extent and that furthermore most people would actually be unaware of this.

It seems that a lot of people are confusing eugenics with existentialism.
I would say that Red Flag is definitely more along the lines of naturist/existential.
I absolutely get where you're coming from, and in some instances agree. I'm not so sure that humans need to live more than 30-60 years either. We as humans have definitely messed up the natural order of things. We've lengthened life spans, but have put a drain on resources, polluted the hell out of the planet, propagated numerous strains of disease. We have in some degree subverted "mother nature".
I guess where I would part with Red Flag is medicines and treatment of the disabled. While living, the disabled have every right to quality of life as the rest of us and should be cared for by society. I think that in and of itself is the duty of a society.
In the words of Chris Rock....."I'm not saying I agree with Red Flag......but I understand!"

hahah word.. at least someone in here can UNDERSTAND where I'm coming from, that's all i was looking for.
existentialist: a philosopher who emphasizes freedom of choice and personal responsibility but who regards human existence in a hostile universe as unexplainable..
I'd say would work if you MUST label me.. althought I'm not sure I fully understand what's meant by "who regards human existence in a hostile universe as unexplainable"
You Said Naturist and that's a nudist! :lol: I'm not that, but if you meant a Naturalist, then I'd say that Label most appropriately defines me.
nat·u·ral·ist : One who believes in and follows the tenets of naturalism.

"these things are all for the common good"
Meat and Soda are for the common good?
"they did not kill Jews specifically for eugenics"
you answered yourself there. people call north korea communist, but is it? or is it just 'related'?
Yes, North Korea is communist.
Also, meat is healthy and people enjoy, people also enjoy soda. It is certainly your own choice whether you eat meat or drink soda. But not using synthetic medicine is rather bad for people, it shouldn't be down to choice. Why do you not drink soda or eat meat, I would only accept that if someone had a good reason such as they do not like soda or meat, but not anything along the lines of 'it's unnatural'.

I think it did go somewhat off-topic, but now with my brief comment on eugenics I think there is certainlty room for Red Flag to reply.

We all have our own disability. I'm short-sighted myself. Someone could be dyslexic, or dyscalculaic etc etc.
People who society regards as disabled as just as equal, and should be treated as equals. These people do not need the fascists idiots degrading them everyday, they need to be seen as normal, everyday humans with the same emotions as we have.
At high school, i was friends with about 4 people who had learning difficulties. Even though they had this disability, they were happy, fun-loving young people who didnt let their disability stop them.

its happening...
from being around -5 -5 then to -6 -6 now its got to the point of: -
Economic Left/Right: -9.25
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.56
Every time I take that test I seem to shift slightly to the left. I started off with what Gandhi was on and now look at me...
Its your harmful influence you know... I even have begun to support revolution in some limited cases...
From Democratic socialism to this...
