    is there a consensus amongst marxists over reparations in the united states? I can't imagine you could redistribute capital based on equity when race itself would be deconstructed

    Depends on who you ask, Marxists are not monolithic and consists of many different tendencies.

    Anyhow, considering you may be alluding to American Marxist-Leninists (incl. Maoists), then yes, they are generally in favor of state-distributed reparations through land and/or money.

    It needs to be said that the method is also a point of contention, because this may conflict with indigenous Land Back projects.

    Do you have any sources I could read up on about the topic?

    I don’t believe there’s a consensus

    me personally i think at least people that can trace their lineage to ancestors that were enslaved should’ve already gotten money like a hundred f***in years ago

    There are issues with records of ancestry and all that, that kind of make that process a bit more difficult

    also it feels like we’re in peak culture war time so people are reluctant to embrace the idea of reparations outright, and often bring up that poverty is very widespread across most or all races so etc their idea goes from that standpoint but i don’t personally like that very much

    Blackness in america has always been under attack and it’s not just abstract ideas but literal laws of considering people subhuman that we have precedent to form a case for reparations

    It’s something so disgusting that people think we’re past that but there’s no logical way in hell that the remnants of hundreds of years of dehumanizing action and propaganda and brutality is just whisked away with a few pieces of legislation especially in a country where a scapegoat is always needed to divide working people for one thing

    anyway nah black folks should’ve been got reparations also native ppl should’ve already been given land back but here we are 2023 and…

    “ The speedy development of the struggle of the American Negroes is a manifestation of sharpening class struggle and sharpening national struggle within the United States; it has been causing increasing anxiety among U.S. ruling circles. The Kennedy Administration is insidiously using dual tactics. On the one hand, it continues to connive at and take part in discrimination against Negroes and their persecution, and it even sends troops to suppress them. On the other hand, in the attempt to numb the fighting will of the Negro people and deceive the masses of the country, the Kennedy Administration is parading as an advocate of “the defence of human rights” and “the protection of the civil rights of Negroes,” calling upon the Negro people to exercise “restraint” and proposing the “civil rights legislation” to Congress. But more and more Negroes are seeing through these tactics of the Kennedy Administration. The fascist atrocities of the U.S. imperialists against the Negro people have exposed the true nature of so-called American democracy and freedom and revealed the inner link between the reactionary policies pursued by the U.S. Government at home and its policies of aggression abroad.”

    Greed and bloodlust are the only emotions crackers feel, they're biologically incapable of love or empathy. The only tragedy about the first World War is that it wasn't fought with atomic bombs which might have rid us of their presence. Instead they survive today to make marvel movies and drag us into climate suicide. Spectacular. Everyday I wonder what I possibly could have done in a past life to be condemned to share this world with these "people".

    In fact, many members of the Canadian Airborne Regiment stationed in Somalia knew about or participated in various levels of violence against Somalis during their time there, and superior officers condoned and encouraged the behaviour. Soldiers produced “trophy photos” with their

    tortured victims and “holiday videos” wherein they drank beer, laughed about cracking Somali heads and described their mission as “Operation Snatch Nig-Nog.”27 One soldier, a self-professed neo-Nazi, told the camera that they “hadn’t killed enough n-----s yet,” while another complained that Somalis “never work, they’re lazy, they’re slobs, and they stink.” As these videos and stories accumulated, it also surfaced that the regiment practised violent and racist hazing rituals, including one where a black soldier was tied to a tree and covered in feces that spelled the words “I love the kkk

    Libertarians have much to say about government encroachment in private life but nothing when companies do it. When private employers dictate your free time, your appearance, your health insurance, when you go to the bathroom, where you get to work from, and how you behave on social media it's all fine.
