It’s not enough to recognize wrongs. The aim is to extract a confession that will hold up in court, so your possessions can be redistributed fairly.

Yup and to be more precise it's not even necessarily redistribution of possessions but fairness of opportunity.

Possessions are depreciating assets. Even more when people don't know how to use them.

That won't be a solution but more of a bandaid over the long term if the goal is to reach fairness (equality).
