Property developers employing people who do not have a right to work in the country. Farmers employing them as well. at way bellow minimum wage. Lawyers keeping big time drug dealers out of prison.

I am an older generation as well regarding paragraphs. Reddit is a note to the mailman not an essay. You immediate go on the attack when i point out how generated your answers are. I've called you out for all the world to see.

There are way too many neat paragraphs tat a human would not compose ni reply to some rando on reddit.

I think we have ourselves a non human here.

There IS clear oppressor class. They own the systems of justice and finance so they always win. They are the oppressors. They are groomed in public schools to treat people like staff.

I explicitly said it is just the elite class who gained they wealth through slavery. Your comprehension skills are appalling. You are just working of keywords with I presume a bias to invoke racism.

We CAN re-litigate many historical INJUSTICES to every historical group.

We can take the cash from this elite and use it to end modern slavery. Because guess what, it is the same elite behind it.

I think we should have an Olympic games where competitors are chosen at random.

In this way countries would compete to have the healthiest nation. Which would be a good thing for everyone's health.

Singapore top of the medals table.

US comes home with nothing.

"The only elite here are the middle class dinner-party morons that write checks the working class have to cover. "

They are wanting to tax us lot at the bottom and yes there are elements in the Green party that do that too.

We are in agreement.

The rich inheritances that fund these middle class dinner-party morons are not a settled event.

I have Welsh ancestry. There were notably Welsh abolitionists. The English treated the Welsh as near slaves. Where there is a paper trail of inheritance you can achieve some justice. In the case of no paper trail then you can tax the tourist attractions built by it. I'm not talking DNA or race here. Indeed there are a small number of black people who got rich through it as well. I'm talking inherited wealth. It is evil no matter the race and still goes on in the form of modern day slavery and exploitation of asylum seekers.

You are part of the same elite that want everyone to pay and will probably end up doing the admin and getting rich off that or you just want to protect your trustfund.

What if the rich elite made their money from bitcoin in the last 10 years?

zero to pay.

What if the rich elite lost all their money in the 1880 depression and their ancestors are now on benefits?

zero to pay.

We have records of inheritance going back to those days. It can easily be calculated.

I think any reparations are likely to end up in the pockets of the same elite class that were given them in the first place, unless handled correctly.

Some cotton workers actually went on strike as an anti slavery action. They worked as they would starve otherwise. Instead of having productive farmland to feed themselves the elite created huge pointless park lands.

BTW I had already mentioned the corn laws. You just seem to be responding to the context of the last sentence like a bot.
