Screwing the White Man.
Uh, sorry to break it to Jayme the author, but they have used this term for well over a century.
Furthermore, you can go back to the Hitler era and find him campaigning in the slums of Germany in the 1920's using the same term, "social justice".
It’s whatever the liberal group using the term wants it to mean to push their agenda.
Social justice does not mean socialism. The "common good" does not mean communism. The leftists have taken those concepts and perverted them to their own means.
Social Justice: the respect for the human person and the rights which flow from human dignity and guarantee it. Society must provide the conditions that allow associations or individuals to obtain what is their due, according to their nature and their vocation.Catechism of the Catholic Church, Glossary
The term "workers of the world, unite" doesn't really make sense in a world in which their is no clear line between worker and factory owner.
Kids that write software (freelance) are on a par with factory owners (they are their own factories), yet senior managers at the Union Bank of Switzerland are merely workers.
The Left is so "bitterly clinging" to their outdated ideas, they can't see that the train has left the station!
“Social Justice”
The goal to which all progressive revolutionaries aspire.
(If you want to own property, lower taxes, protect the integrity of your state/country, move and speak freely, maintain the integrity of the voting process and love the U.S. Constitution, you are anti-revolutionary.)
IMHO
the money people make, and the property they own, do not rightfully belong to the people who make the money and own the property....
Sounds fair to me. Count me in. /sarc
“social justice” = toxic mix of socialism and racism, cf. “Nazism”
If “the rich” are supposed to contribute a higher percventage of their income to society. what are “the poor” asked to contribute?
Apparently, nothing - other than votes for Democrats.
And this doesn’t even take into account that poor people can become rich, or vice versa.
Annd what’s more “greedy” and “materialistic” - wanting to keep what one has earned, or trying to take what someone else has?
In the movie “Poppy”, W.C. Fields is a con man. His daughter confronts him after one swindle.
“Pa, stealing is wrong.”
“I’m not stealing,” Fields says. “I’m taking from the rich and giving to the poor.”
“What poor?” she asks incredulously.
“Us poor,” he responds.
That’s Social Justice. We know it as theft.
It’s interesting how socialists have basically dropped the notion that the state should own the means of production. I guess a few of their fringe still believe it, but the typical leftwinger really doesn’t. What they do believe in, though, is the redistribution of wealth. The deal seems so be “Okay greedy class enemies, you get to keep your factories (since when we socialists ran them it was a disaster of epic proportions) but we’re going to regulate you and bully you and demonize you, and the wealth you create we’re going to snatch out of your hands and give it to its rightful owners, the people”. But that’s really just fascism, isn’t it?
An oxymoron.
Social Justice = the Marxist rendition of the story of Robin Hood.
At one point social justice was called “distributive justice” but that was to easy to understand. Social justice as a term is easy for liberals to work with, it is a living term that grows with the times.
When I visited MT Rushmore and listened to one of the movie presentations I learned our country was established for life, liberty, and the pursuit of social justice. Go listen for your self, you will hear it.
What Exactly is ‘Socical Justice’? Cultural Marxism

You can have justice or social justice.
Don’t ever count on having both at the same time.
