Let me clarify something caused by thick fingers on little keys: “social justice” is an attempt by people who either are ignorant of the Ten Commands or who are hostile to them to replace them with secular, subjective and relativistic rules.

Note that two of the Ten relate to marriage: coveting and adultery. Notice that two of the Ten relate to property: coveting and theft.

Social Justice and Socialism must seize private property to fund powersharing and to enforce income redistribution. This is coveting. Because it is generally done via government, it is theft “under the color of law”, a phrase meaning that it is still wrong even when it is given the appearance or “color” of being otherwise legal.

Socialism as an economic system cannot function for long because it destroys wealth instead of increasing it. It must deny people the unalienable right to freely trade at mutually agreeable prices and terms. It must be enforced by coercion, via the credible threat of deadly force.

Socialism is antithetical to the economic and liberty values in the Bible.

Hey, have you ever asked someone who uses “social justice” casually to describe their political views

exactly what “social justice” means?

If they’re savvy, they’ll act confused & flustered, because it can’t be described without sounding like a arrogant commie.

Also, “social justice” is an inherently ARROGANT term, because you’re taking it upon yourself to define UNIVERSAL justice, as in who deserves what (only God can do that),

and you’re taking it upon yourself to deprive some people of their rights and property in order to implement your own self-centered definition of that justice.
