"social justice" is an oxymoron

"Phrases such as "social justice," "political justice," and "economic justice" have a certain egalitarian connotation -- which is why they are so often used as the justification for more and more big government programs. It's clever wordplay, for we all believe in "liberty and justice for all." But isn't justice about righting wrongs?

"Social justice" posits a false political premise: that the economic condition of "poverty" is an inherent societal injustice perpetrated by the inequities of capitalism against an entire social strata of innocent victims, depriving them of fundamental economic entitlements and securities -- a civil rights issue -- which further contends that the only just remedy is the redistribution of wealth to achieve societal equality.

If "fairness" is misunderstood to be the forced equalityof resultant circumstances or outcomes, then life obviously isn't fair, nor ever could be: That's why bras and jockstraps come in different sizes. Individuals will always have innate physical, intellectual, and psychological differences that affect their lot in life. Everyone's life experiences differ, from when and where one is born, to how someone is raised, schooling (or not), culture and customs, achievements and failures, everything. Besides, failure is one of life's greatest teachers, and without its sting of accountability, all achievement would be meaningless."
