    On the Injustice of Social Justice

    A short little piece that shows postmodern social justice warriors are neo-Marxism.

    It starts off with examples of "promoting racism under the guise of fighting racism, and for pushing for discrimination under the banner of 'racial equality.'"

    On the Injustice of Social Justice

    ...Hatred and discrimination are central parts of socialism. The system cannot exist without inciting hatred among the masses, since hatred is used to frame its various talking points, and these talking points drive forward the socialist policies of “class struggle.”

    ...The “justice” that socialists speak of is actually an inversion of justice. This goes back to its roots in communist thought.

    In “The Communist Manifesto,” Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels list freedom and justice as “eternal truths” that are “common to all states of society.” Yet, they state immediately after that, “Communism abolishes eternal truths,” which, as they explain, would include freedom and justice.

    And rather than redefine the values of freedom and justice, or attempt to create new concepts of them, Marx and Engels state that communism seeks to abolish these values altogether—in addition to destroying “all religion, and all morality.”

    Socialism is merely the engine to achieve this. During the time of Marx and Engels, there were not yet any socialist or communist governments, and the socialist and communist movements were synonymous with each other. Socialism was just seen as the totalitarian system used to achieve the goals of communism—the desolation of morality, belief, and traditional culture.

    Didn’t Oberlin College just learn a lesson?

    Postmodernism is I think in decline. Philosophers are attacking it. The courts are saying no finally.
