No one today is responsible for the crimes of those who came before them. We cannot right the crimes of past generations by committing new crimes today. The solution is always to just stop stealing.
Most of the wealth of today is not stolen, it was created in spite of the theft. The Soviet Union & Mao's China had more slaves & more natural resources than anywhere else on earth & they both collapsed. Slavery & theft are not the source of wealth, innovation & trade are. The west is rich because we ended slavery & theft, and we are in decline because these things are creeping back via govt controls & taxes & inflation.
