Correct me if I’m wrong: in anarchist Spain, people with disabilities would work for 50% less income than people without. In practice I think it’s something like, say you in electrician earning 100,000. You get injured at work. When you come back to work you earn 50,000. Which is still way more than minimum wage in the US.
I spent some time yesterday trying to verify this claim and can’t find anything. I asked a friend of mine who is a historian if she could verify this claim and she was not able to. She pointed me to a paper called “Agrarian Collectives during the Spanish Revolution and Civil War” by Michael Seidman but it too did not have any information about people in anarchist Spain making 50% less income than people without.
Do you have a source or direction you can point me to for this claim?
6 part series, not sure which part talked about that. I’ve read nearly nothing else about the spanish civil war otherwise, so if it exists, it’ll be there… i think.

I’m probably just wrong in that case. I watched this documentary by apparently bbc: https://yewtu.be/playlist?list=PL2Ms3UVVn-WzQZrIyhmBYwKls1B7v6Yhj
