The concept of Sippenschaft or family guilt was applied by the Nazis and should now be rejected.
Exactly. As should collective responsibility.
Collective responsibility was what the Jews got from the Nazis for the actions of a tiny minority of Jewish-Bolshevik activists coming largely from the East (along with the other 50% of non-Jew massacre victims, who are ignored by the press and never received any 'compensation').
So is collective responsibility good or bad ? Make up your minds. I am happy either way - it cuts both ways.
For the left, it's good when it's the right. But since anyone on left is automatically a victim within a right-wing military-industrialist power-structure, the question of collective responsibility never arises, since the individual in question cannot be guilty - it's the right that is responsible for the way he is !
The whole 'compensation' thing is highly dubious (much like the 'foreign aid' charities) as it appears on first sight that . For an expose of the Holocash industry read Norman Finkelstein's "The Holocaust Industry"
