reparations & exploitation

[Justin Schwartz]

I don't know whether this is what is bugging Yoshie, but some people might 
want to say that classes are exploited, races are oppressed. Thts eems to be

technical sense, exploited, wrongfully forced to produce surplus (value) 
that was appropriated by others. --jks
