I was so happy to have found your past articles, but you just lost me here as a reader... Given that I am from Europe, I don't pretend to understand these issues in detail, but "capitalism as a form of theft"?!? In my opinion, how we act and what we do is much more important than any past events (that's the only thing we can influence anyway), even if it helps to look into past events and try to understand them. Wealth and equality is built on a very individual level. Being a woman in an international, predominantly male corporation, I had my fair share to deal with issues that could be understood as "oppression" or exploitation - or just as issues everybody has to deal with in order to become successful, where I had to make my own choices how to react. I have the impression that this guilt culture (let it be white supremacy or the Holocaust) is becoming quite popular, but actually helping nobody. Does it encourage people to take responsibility for their own life if they feel oppressed by a "system", or not rather by taking action themselves in any single situations, and making the best of it? Blaming others is, in my opinion, the worst thing anybody can do in hopes to improve their lives and overcome difficulties... Same goes for putting everybody on a lower level in order to "equalize" society ;-) Did not work in the past, will not help in the future.
