    I want to see so much reparations.

    Reparations to non-violent criminals for imprisonment

    Reparations to global south counties for climate destruction

    Reparations to indigenous communities for stealing their land and genocide their ancestors

    Reparations to Palestinians for supporting their degredation and expulsion

      Collectivization all wealth under dictatorship of the proletariat will give reparations to the marginalized by default, by virtue of evening out the wealth for everyone! Not saying specific attention to marginalized groups is not needed of course, but I consider that a critical element within collectivization.

        Because honestly, the US owes so many reparations that it wouldn’t possibly be able to afford to pay them and still exist. The point needs to be driven home to people that reparations will require the dismantling of the empire, not the continuation of it.

          Correct. Decolonization requires the destruction of Western governments as we see them now. Note that this is entirely different from destruction of the people, it absolutely does not entail eye for an eye, kill all whites shit like anticommunists/antidecolonizers keep strawmanning about, that would not be decolonization but reverse colonization/revenge, but the current socioeconomic structures and status quo need to go and societal priorities and paradigms need to be massively shifted, AKA a cultural revolution.
