Social Justice: Not What You Think It Is

(excerpt)

Let us begin by asking what most people think social justice is. After that, let us review how the term arose. It is a Catholic concept, later taken over by secular progressives. What social justice actually is turns out to be very different from the way the term is now used popularly.

[Steve Van Doorn]

Article says is the left changes the meaning of terms one of which is "social justice." That isn't news. Jim Jones the cool aid man changed the meaning of an old phrase to fit the new policy of the left. Which is pity the worst form of racism.

What is your point? My question to you was. "You based you’re argument that I’m raciest because why? you tell me."

[Pete from Shawnee Mission]

"A Whiter Shade of Pale": Sense and Nonsense — The Pursuit of Perfection in Law and Politics

Speech of Janice Rogers Brown, Associate Justice, California Supreme Court

Snip... " It is my thesis today that the sheer tenacity of the collectivist impulse — whether you call it socialism or communism or altruism — has changed not only the meaning of our words, but the meaning of the Constitution, and the character of our people.

Government is the only enterprise in the world which expands in size when its failures increase. Aaron Wildavsky gives a credible account of this dynamic. Wildavsky notes that the Madisonian world has gone "topsy turvy" as factions, defined as groups "activated by some common interest adverse to the rights of other citizens or to the permanent and aggregate interests of the community,"4 have been transformed into sectors of public policy. "Indeed," says Wildavsky, "government now pays citizens to organize, lawyers to sue, and politicians to run for office. Soon enough, if current trends continue, government will become self-contained, generating (apparently spontaneously) the forces to which it responds."5 That explains how, but not why. And certainly not why we are so comfortable with that result....Snip"

Social justice indeed!
