the way the socialist talk always about economic justice as opposed to economic liberty

That was Postmaster General Farley speaking:

"The long strugle to restore social and economic justice in America has offended certain financial overlords..." yada yada. Who needs churches or individual moral responsibility when we have the almighty state?

I picked up on Farley’s comments, too. Nowhere in the article did it say, in terms of policy, what it meant to be “liberal” or “conservative,” except in Farley’s comments.

“Social and economic justice” meant then what they mean today; social justice through buying votes of masses of government dependents. Economic justice is the redistribution of wealth from the producers to the government, so that they can fuel their social justice programs. FDR said that anyone who thought differently should be run out of the party.

This article makes it very clear that when someone says the modern democrat party is “not the party of your grand daddy,” you can bring up this article. Looks like the only way it’s different is that the purge has been completed.
