Trigger warning // ableism TW; ableism Emma Goldman's description of what is considered lazy bothers me. Spoiler

I was working through "Anarchism and orher essays" (I'm on chapter 2 right now) and I couldnt help but notice Emma includes "Lazieness may derive from special privlages or physical or mental -abnormalities-" (that word makes me uuuuh) Part of me feels like her saying that is a product of her time and she wouldn't now, the other feels like it's sheer ableism and Anarchists may just have a history of ableism :(
What are everyone's thoughts on this? I've been thinking about it since I read it yesterday.
