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 ?
