[PEN-L:7436] Re: e: Liquidated damages for slavery

[Michael Perelman <michael@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The wrongs have been many.  Native Americans, Africans made chattle, underpaid
workers .....  Not all have suffered alike, but the majority have been short
changed for the benefit of the few.

Concentrating on the wrongs done to specific groups tends to set group against
group in making their claims.

The logic of socialism is that the individual wrongs cannot be righted, but that
society as a whole should share in the fruits of previous acts of exploitation
and expropriation.
