Sure, and there are also ethics of patrimony where you inherit
entitlements but not guilt.  In some cultures, ours for instance,
you can inherit your father's house yet not inherit liability for
the crimes he committed -- even his stealing the house.  Extended
by analogy to homelands, positive rights, etc.


Please cite the statutes and precedents legitimizing inheritance of
stolen goods.



1. Note that my example was stronger than needed to refute your
   "parity of reasoning" which you used to deduce collective guilt
   from collective inheritance.  You can inherit your father's
   *legitimate* property without inheriting guilt for his crimes.
   I only needed this strong an example for my last sentence: the
   analogy with homelands.

2. I thought you can't sue for property taken from your father
   on the grounds that you *would* have inherited it.  So if my father
   stole your father's house and bequeathed it to me, and both fathers
   are now dead, then the house is mine and you have no case.

3. If I'm wrong on point 2, then OK, instead of the father say it's
   the great-grandfather who stole the house.  That's a closer analogy
   to what I'm talking about anyway, a statute of limitations on
   stolen homelands.


Thinking like a Swiss banker, I see.
