Its amazing how every time this reasonable question has been asked, the reign of terror, the US civil war, and WW2 the eventual lines we did draw were totally wrong by about 4 orders of magnitude, both in scale and relation to the crime. For the reign of terror, should the revolutionaries have not killed every royal and noble family, every man woman and child? In the civil war, not just the confederate generals and officers but the plantation owners and politicians also suffer some fate than the removal of their vote? And finally the nazis, 10 nazis were held to account in nuremburg, though many more are popularly imagined to have faced judgement in the field, while so many more, just like the civil war, went on to continue living prestigious lives. Only one revolution seems to have ever answered this question correctly.
anyways marx said it best "We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror."
I've said it before, but every confederate soldier (who couldn't be re-educated) should have gone and their lands and wealth given to their black slaves and Native Americans. Same with Germany and Black, Jewish, and Romani people's that the Nazis targeted. Reparations are never made, moral depravity is never punished, and people are told to just get on with things in the name of 'peace'. Then their legacy continues in different forms.
In terms of reparations, I don't think how re educated someone is or could be should be taken into account. An act of economic justice via redistribution is not based on any individual's mind state.
Oh for sure. Asset seizure should be a given. Anything else is a separate consideration.
