The politics of Helen Keller, Socialism and disability

[Zorra]

6. Why do you think it is useful to examine the historical construction of Helen Keller's life story

to remove her Marxist activism on disability, and instead supplant it with moral tales of overcoming personal obstacles?

On the surface, this appears like a neoliberal attempt to deliberately rewrite history according to Ayn Rand. But I am open to the possibility that their are more reality based motivations for you posting this OP.

"I think it useful to examine the historical construction of Helen Keller's life story to remove her Marxist activism on disability and instead supplant it with moral tales of overcoming personal obstacles."

Maybe I misunderstood your intent in writing this post.

Could you please explain, clearly and simply, why you feel so deeply compelled to create an OP that is designed to "remove her Marxist activism on disability, and instead supplant it with moral tales of overcoming personal obstacles?"

Thanks.
