How can you prove you personally didnt benefit from the situation due to suppression of African Americans and Indians in this country? May be they could have gotten your job or your seat in an ivy league school.
At least no libertarian that I know support reparations. They believe their position of weakness led them to be taken advantage of so they kind of "deserved" it. Or their labor were put to better use.
- tathougies 7y agoA person who believe someone in a position of 'weakness' can be lawfully enslaved is quite literally not a libertarian. My civil torts would not be based on what ifs (like whether they could have had my job or school place), but on the best approximated wages owed to their ancestors that they ought to have inherited. The money would be paid out via those assets inherited by descendants of slave owners. Many southern plantations are still owned by slaver families and they generate revenue. This revenue is rightly due to the slaves descendants. I dont have any responsibility for slavery in this country because my family wasn't around at the time and i dont have any inheritance.
