The idea that blacks deserve to be compensated, to the tune of trillions of dollars according to some, is not an isolated concept. Democrats have created the false narrative that modern whites and Republicans owe black people for continued racist oppression, which is a lie. There is no modern white and Republican ongoing abuse of blacks. If anything, it is Democrat policies and programs that harm blacks more than they know.
Furthermore, the Marxist idea that the poor deserve to be given of the wealth of the rich in massive redistribution schemes like reparations is widespread among deluded Democrats, even though it will be a cold day in hell before most rich Democrat politicians share a dime of their hoarded wealth with the poor.
Writer Vicky Osterweil's book, In Defense of Looting, came out on Tuesday. Osterweil is a self-described writer, editor and agitator who has been writing about and participating in protests for years. And her book arrives as the continued protests have emerged as a bitter dividing point in the presidential race.
When she finished it, back in April, she wrote that "a new energy of resistance is building across the country." Now, as protests and riots continue to grip cities, she stakes out a provocative position: that looting is a powerful tool to bring about real, lasting change in society. The rioters who smash windows and take items from stores, she claims, are engaging in a powerful tactic that questions the justice of "law and order," and the distribution of property and wealth in an unequal society.
