For the record, this song was once played on Parliament Hill on Canada Day, with the lyric "S.O.C.I.A.L.I.S.M. is here to stay
S.O.C.I.A.L.I.S.M. is the only way". And no one freaked the fuck out.

My mother used to tell me as a child that "everyone is disabled in some way".
I appreciate what she was trying to do. And I agree with her. But at the same time, that was often her response to my frustrations with having Cerebral Palsy. The intention was good, but it often felt invalidating.
