I want to see so much reparations.
Reparations to non-violent criminals for imprisonment
Reparations to global south counties for climate destruction
Reparations to indigenous communities for stealing their land and genocide their ancestors
Reparations to Palestinians for supporting their degredation and expulsion
Collectivization all wealth under dictatorship of the proletariat will give reparations to the marginalized by default, by virtue of evening out the wealth for everyone! Not saying specific attention to marginalized groups is not needed of course, but I consider that a critical element within collectivization.
Idk…that sounds a bit like communism.
Because honestly, the US owes so many reparations that it wouldn’t possibly be able to afford to pay them and still exist. The point needs to be driven home to people that reparations will require the dismantling of the empire, not the continuation of it.
Correct. Decolonization requires the destruction of Western governments as we see them now. Note that this is entirely different from destruction of the people, it absolutely does not entail eye for an eye, kill all whites shit like anticommunists/antidecolonizers keep strawmanning about, that would not be decolonization but reverse colonization/revenge, but the current socioeconomic structures and status quo need to go and societal priorities and paradigms need to be massively shifted, AKA a cultural revolution.
Yep! All of these should get reparations!

The racist conservative European immigrants are still claiming that reparations to the North American Indigenous First Nations for the 150 years of widespread enslavement and uncheck savage violence against children of Indigenous landowners in Indian Residential fake schools are bad, because the racist white servants of the anti-Christ dictate that reparation are free money. They disciples of Satan among the conservative European immigrants demand the removal of Indian status so the First Nation people will lose their landownership right, rent collection right (which often occur in the form of overdue government services), debt collection right, and right to collect reparation for the child enslavement and savage indoctrination in residential fake schools. Since the First Nation people will lose the fruit of their and their ancestor’s labor if they leave the federal reserve prisons, the backward racist Satan-worshipping European immigrants are dumping all their toxic factory chemicals (which contain components of chemicals weapon that British used in WW1) and poisonous landfills into the federal reserves to poison the food and water supplies in an effort to force Indigenous people to forfeit the fruit of their labor and of the labor fo their ancestors.
Reparations will not lead to the systematic change needed to bring everyone to parity long term.
Yes we need communism, we don’t have to pick one or the other
In a roundabout way it would, because it’s not happening unless there’s a revolution. So if there are reparations, you’re already taking about conditions in which the system is being changed.

Reparations would be more palatable if they were disbursed to the lower classes without regard for race.
As in, socialist redistribution of wealth?
Yes
No, black people’s generational wealth is the one that has been stolen with slavery, then segregation, then Jim Crow laws and then systematic racism. In order to help black people even have a fighting chance compared to the average white household, reparations are needed particularly for blacks.
OP, I need to interview someone with mental disabilities for one of my term papers this semester. Is it okay if I message you?
Ableism and racism all in one go, impressive. Also fuck off.
What
They changed their comment because when I made my comment, the person I replied to said something to the effect of wanting to interview OP for his paper he is writing in mentally disabled people.
The person below me was commenting on the same original text because the word “interview” was used.
Try interviewing yourself.
