"Social Justice" Is Not the Same As Justice For All

American citizens are constantly bombarded by propaganda, newspeak, spin by politicians and advocates for special interests. The more anti-American, the more self-serving, the more dishonest the cause is, the greater the manipulation of language to camouflage the reality of what is being proposed.

"Social Justice" is one of these deceitful causes. The two words taken separately are valid terms. Social means "the interaction of the individual and the group or the welfare of human beings."

Justice means, "The quality of being just, impartial, or fair." But the innocuous words united in contemporary politicalese, speak of something quite different. They are code words coined and used by Marxists, and promoters of "Black Liberation Theology," and those civil rights activists who enrich themselves in the name of the their minority. Coming from these sources, they mean the use of political and governmental power to take funds from businesses and those who earn their livelihood and redistribute it to those who, for whatever reason, are categorized as poor or disadvantaged.

Since most good people believe in society and justice, and since most are not aware of the origin of or the hidden intent of "Social Justice," the hustlers, the spinmeisters, the political opportunists are able to fleece them without their perception of what is happening to them.

In Latin America, Marxists used this theme to foment revolution among the poor against governments and prosperous citizens. In return, they offered them a Communist type of "liberation" such as Cubans have enjoyed under their dictator. Rather than liberation, it resulted in worse subjugation. The greatest liberator of all said, "Take heed lest any man deceive you" (Mark 13:5). One purpose of an honest media is to help the average citizen discern such misuse of words.
