Profit is privatised, debt is nationalised.
The people pay, the parasites prey.
The money lenders have to keep lending, to keep raking in interest, only to carry on lending... Ever hungry for more.

Goy George.
Very moving from @BoyGeorge on the way he’s been dropped by friends and the whole experience has made him ‘grow up’.
Because he dared to write the line ‘I stand with the Jews’ in a song he wrote ‘on a whim’.

Fear mongering, demoralisation and despair are tools of the regime to disarm the people, as hope is the genesis of organising to end the regime.

Reparations seems to rear it's ugly head every few months.
It is born of the same poverty of spirit as social democracy, i.e. to beg for more scraps from the master's table and indenture yourself ever deeper.
No true nation can be built on the foundations of beggary. Sovereignty and stability can only be built upon self reliance. As Ibrahim Traore, President of Burkina Faso, says:
"Africa does not need the World Bank, the IMF, Europe or America. We Africans have what it takes to grow our economy without any loans. We cannot continue to be financial slaves using loans."
Moreover, who owes the debt? Is it the British worker who works 48 hours a week to barely pay their rent, bills, debts and necessities? Is it the British worker who has reaped nowt but the ever growing burden of wage slavery?
Because that is who would pay.
But who should pay? The debt is in fact owed by the perpetrators of that system of wage slavery over the British, the inheritors and benefactors of a system that once held the world in chains, and still does. It is the capitalist and capitalism that owes.
But debt under capitalism is nationalised, and profit privatised. And as such any arbitrary debts decided will be levelled in another Budget, and rendered from the blood and sweat of British workers by burglary.
And if it is the capitalist who owes, and the workers who pay, to whom is the debt to be paid?
Is it the African who in their multitude rip rare earth minerals with their bare hands? Is it the black Venezuelan whose nation is taken from him? Is it the Nigerian in his hovel dreaming of care work in Nottingham, thus perpetuating his servitude?
No. The debt would be paid to the comprador, the charlatan and the corrupted official, it would be paid to the goon, the general and the guilty judge. In essence the sum of debt would merely shift hands between the capitalist and the servile captain in his constituency, only to be repaid by corruption, concession or to the IMF.
Reparations are therefore merely foreign aid writ large, and a case of do not look at what the system says, but what it does.
The British worker therefore does not owe a monetary debt to the oppressed people's of the world, but a debt to himself to overturn the capitalist system that holds him in the bondage of wage slavery, capitalist contempt and corporate complicity.
