blackbird Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) California’s reparations proposals may carry a steep price for Democrats Democrats in San Francisco district and California are proposing to pay anything from hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars to each descendent of a slave. Is this similar to the billions of dollars in payout to First Nations people in Canada that have already been going on? Maybe the American FNs could get in on it too. Don't forget about the Japanese who were displaced and sent to other locations in WW2. And what about the Chinese? The Hispanics perhaps?

Queenmandy85 Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 How is "Neo-marxist" different from regular marxist? Which tennent of Neo-marxism is this under? Marx said the means of production belong to the proletariat. How does this relate to that? It has been 50 years since I studied marxism so I'm a bit hazy.

But thanks. My experience over the years has been that some people who use the terms "conservative" or "marxist" don't know what they are talking about, but, then they believe the same thing about me.

I am Groot Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 California was never a slave state. It's absurd they want to pay reparations to people for slavery. This seems more like virtue signalling and a desperate desire to show how 'anti racist' the supporters of this nonsense are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother preacher @blackbird has a sermon today. I think he is accusing your state of being neo-Marxist. At least he uses the word "neo", if he would have said Marxist, then he would have gotten the rant from me. Any comments? ? No, it is completely capitalist. Slaves' compensation was STOLEN from them and their estate. Actual damages deserve compensation, just as the victims of ANY theft would be compensated by those complicit in that THEFT which INCLUDES the governments which sanctioned it. On top of the THEFT, there was reneging of the compensation of 40 acres and a mule PROMISED at the time. Of course slaves imported from Africa were NOT First Nations people of North America.
