Compartmentalized debate on slave reparations

Once again reparations for slavery is a hot topic on local talk

    radio. Liberals who feel passionately on the subject -think injustice to


    our ancestors entitles us to something- have very curiously compartmentalized

    thinking on the controversy . What about the more general question -now asked

    only by diehard Marxists ?- about the maldistribution of wealth in capitalist

    societies, about the everyday " exploitation of FREE labor. When was the last

    time any radical liberal in the news even paid homage to the old fashioned

    labor theory of value ?

            A theoretical discussion of the CLASS nature of wealth creation is

    far more illuminating than stale debates on  reparations for black slavery.

         Wage slavery is still a reality. The haves have nearly everything because

    they can EXPLOIT the have nots of the world - of all races and nationalities.

             How many partisans of slavery reparations are socialists ?
