Nice blog site McVulgar.
Hey, since we had a question at our last meeting regarding how "social justice" is defined, let's explore that some . . . My (progressive) sense is that "social justice" imagines and pursues an alternative vision of reality where all people are valued. It envisions a reality where one receives not only "according to her/his contribution" (since not all people are able to contribute, and anyway, the value of one's contribution is subjective, determined by 'market values' and those in power), but social justice also advances” to each according to his/her needs." Social justice, then, seeks not just individual responsibility and contribution, but corporate responsibility and contribution to the collective well-being of society. It confronts the "systems of sin," the "powers and principalities," that result in the monopolization of wealth, gross income disparities, militarism, systemic racism, poverty, and every other social ill that diminishes opportunity, creativity, and the pursuit of happiness.
