If anybody wants on/off the revolutionary progressivism ping list, send me a message
Progressives do not want to discuss their own history. I want to discuss their history.
Summary: You will see Barack Obama in Philip Dru if you take the time to go through this book.

Economic Justice is code for: "From each according to his ability to each according to his need"

Screwing one person so the other feels good.
I doubt that would work in economics, either.

That’s easy.
“Economic Justice” is equally distributed poverty as opposed to unequally distributed prosperity.

the “rich” do share their wealth with the poor. they pay most of the income tax, give more to charity, hire folks to do all sorts of work and services and pay top prices for new “toys” such as HDTV. when enough rich people buy enough HDTVs at high cost, the cost comes down and more folks can buy one. (rush has said this many times).

Social justice wonks ignore a huge factor. It is impossible for the wealthy to further their own interest without furthering that of others. They aren’t really into self-sufficiency or disintermediation. They need caterers, cabinet makers, car manufacturers, kung fu instructors, and such. They pay these providers what they are worth, so if the providers shine they are enriched.
I work for rich people in my day job and in my major second vocation.
It is the way of things.

And the man or woman who fails to do his duty, not as he sees it, but as society at large sees it, will be held up to the contempt of mankind.Unless, of course, he or she is a DemocRAT, in which case, said duty does not apply.

Economic Justice is Envy writ large.

Interesting analysis of Philip Dru found
here
Note the ties to 'Globalism', Free Trade without the constraints of morality or patriotism [advocated by Marx to speed the onset of global communism], The Fed [central control of credit, one of the 10 planks of communism], and the CFR.

With king obama, economic justice is a fancy word for reparations.
To: ProgressingAmerica
Economic justice is taking money from those still willing to work for a living and giving it to those who vote for a living.

The country thrived with Christianity as a moral linchpin to capitalism.
We are losing the compassionate conscience due to the gov’mnt appropriating charitable voluntary contributions to those ‘in need’.

Capitalism: You are paid what you agree to accept for specified work when it is completed.
Economic Justice: You are paid what a government official decides you need...after the official gets paid and his wife tours Spain, Italy, Africa, etc., etc.

I saw this ideal of economic “justice” work on a micro level in a family's inheritance. The good children who worked hard and achieved a measure of success got nothing. The slackers who messed up their lives for immediate gratification (cheating and divorce, school drop out, substance abuse etc.) were rewarded with money because they had none.
There is no doubt in that family that economic justice is up-side-down. It rewards evil and punishes goodness.

My guess is he’s a greedy, tight-fisted SOB himself.
