L'impérialisme ne paye pas ses dettes

L'impérialisme ne paye pas ses dettes

Une étude s'est proposé de compter la dette faite par le colonialisme pendant le triangle d'or.

Les chiffres sont très élevés et ne comptent pas la destruction immatérielle.

A major point for consideration in the Brattle Report are the sums that have to be paid as reparations in respect of the period of enslavement. The figures are high. For example, Britain is required to pay as reparation for TCS (Transatlantic Chattel Slavery) in 14 countries the sum of $24.011 trillion; of that sum, the United Kingdom is required to pay $9.559 trillion in respect of Jamaica. Spain is required to pay $17.107 trillion; of that sum, it is required to pay $102 billion to Jamaica. The United States is required to pay the sum of $26.790 trillion, in respect of the USA for its practice of TCS in the USA from 1776 to 1865. Every effort should be made to ensure that this sum is paid by the USA and that it benefits the descendants of the enslaved in that country. France is required to pay, in respect of four countries, the sum of $9.288 trillion. Portugal is required to pay, in respect of Brazil, the sum of $20.582 trillion. Brazil is required to pay $4.434 trillion in respect of its practice of TCS in Brazil from 1822 to 1888. The Netherlands is required to pay $4.886 trillion; of that sum, it is required to pay $2.723 trillion to Suriname and $52 billion to Guyana. The aggregate sum of reparations to be paid by all the former slaveholding states is $107.8 trillion.
