The Nazis had something called “Sippenhaft”, meaning family liability. So if you took a potshot at Hitler, your family was criminally punished along with you. It didn’t matter whether or not your family was actually involved.
Modern liberals just love to adopt fascist practices. So I wonder if they’ll adopt Sippenhaft to the descendants of slave owners. If so, be sure to pick a new name, guys.
Maybe call it “reparations”. Oops, sorry. That term is already used. They’ll have to think of something else.

Under Stalin they were arrested as families of enemies of the people. The wives and children of his Party opponents became his hostages to make them confess, then were consigned to the Gulag anyway.
