Social justice and communism and socialism are concepts that actually are bound up in the industrial revolution and really don't make sense in our technological, post-industrial world.

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The Left is so "bitterly clinging" to their outdated ideas, they can't see that the train has left the station!

Great point. This whole notion of “social justice” is nothing more than a ruse to redistribute wealth at the point of a gun. I see very little difference between a hooded gunman demanding my treasure or an IRS agent threatening to garnish my wages or take my home. For all intents and purposes what’s the difference?
