To a Marxist, "peace" means the absence of opposition to socialism, and Justice means government control over all assets. There is no inconsistency there
I agree with you.
The ‘60’s protestors are all inside the convention now.
I never thought of it like that. I think you are exactly right. I have to admit that within the twisted logic of their twisted world it makes a sort of twisted sense.
When you explain it like this, it helps me understand where they are coming from. I am more able to put myself in their shoes. (Now I feel like I need a disinfecting shower!)
Islam has a similar viewpoint, where "Justice" can only exist when all are subject to Islamic law, and the only "innocents" are Muslims, since an infidel is inherently guilty of rejecting Islam, and so cannot be considered an innocent. So "terrorism" can only be applied to efforts to stop Jihad, but never to Jihad itself
This sort of thing is why Aristotle always insisted on a rigorous definition of terms as the foundation to any debate
