Social justice is everywhere nowadays, and the call for racial equality reverberates through the halls of political correctness. The ultimate goal is to give Socialism another run with plenty of elected officials pushing the collective wagon. Paul Sperry identified some of the most visible Socialists in a tweet: Cori Bush, Rohit Khanna, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, Kamala Harris, and Bernie Sanders. One must take a step back, examine the intellect assembled in this group, and will quickly realize that something is amiss. They are potentially very nice people, but definitely not the bright bulbs in the basket.

Let’s refresh our memories. The U.S.S.R — Union of Soviet Socialist Republics — was an economic failure that lasted between 1917 and 1991, and China’s venture into collectivism that started in 1949 did not produce the desired results, and was ultimately saved by Western civilization through manufacturing outsourcing and the eventual access to technology that far exceeded their gun powder, noodle, and chopstick inventions. Between the U.S.S.R. and China, that’s as good as true Socialism gets, and they didn’t have to contend with the added challenge of diversity and inclusion. Social justice was and still is nowhere to be found.

While the political sabre rattling continues, there’s a much broader issue regarding social justice that is ignored and will contribute to the unforeseen fallout as described in “2081.”

But what is social justice? A quick search brings us to Wikipedia, a now de facto left wing website. The definition provided reads as follows:

Social justice is the relation of balance between individuals and society measured by comparing distribution of wealth differences, from personal liberties to fair privilege opportunities.

We’re all for “personal liberties” — or maybe not — but the key element is the “distribution of wealth differences.” While equal opportunity is a fair demand, who provides the opportunity? Is it the government or the private sector? Which comes first: entrepreneur or government? A simple introduction to real economics, not the nonsense taught in college, will answer the question, but that’s a topic for another day.

But let’s add perspective to the subject, courtesy of Investopedia.com, which defines social Justice as “a political and philosophical theory” and “tends to focus more on just relations between groups within society as opposed to the justice of individual conduct or justice for individuals.”

Historically and in theory, the idea of social justice is that all people should have equal access to wealth, health, well-being, justice, privileges, and opportunity regardless of their legal, political, economic, or other circumstances.

In other words, it’s about economic envy. Yet there’s always a tendency to overcomplicate matters and beat around the proverbial bush to avoid the simplicity that stares one in the face. Thus the existence of liberal studies that provide vast volumes of poppycock.

The overlooked root the problem started with the USA’s Civil Rights movement. How? While it’s extremely important to ensure that economic opportunity and justice are dispensed equally among all, regardless of race, sex, and all that jazz, the mantra was that all of us were created equal, which was addressed in “The Myth That All Men Are Created Equal.” Thus with equal inputs, the outputs should be somewhat equal.

But because socio-techno-economic shortcomings endured as the decades passed by, now social justice is invoked to even the score, because it’s extremely inconvenient to face the truth. To illustrate, it is no different than adding a few hundreds of a second to Usain Bolt’s record in the 100 meter dash so the losers can be compensated for their inability to run faster. Please remember that the starting line was equal for everyone.

As reported by Fox News, “Congressman-elect Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., indicated on Thursday that President-elect Joe Biden owed Black and Brown people after they helped elect him.”

“Joe Biden has pledged a $2 trillion investment in environmental justice and 40% of that has been pledged to districts like mine across the country,” Bowman said.

The word “justice” continues to find its way into the conversation, and is a deceitful manner to hide the simple fact: inborn inability. Add $200 trillion to Mr. Bowman’s wish list and the end result will be the same in the decades ahead. The victim mentality is extremely useful because it provides cover for the lack of socio-techno-economic achievement, and that’s why nobody has been able to explain “Liberia: A Testament To Black Lack Of Achievement In An Oppression-Free State.”

Social justice is reduced to taking from those who invent, build, and earn, and giving it those who lack the ability to produce equivalent outputs from the equal inputs. On a global scale, it’s a simple manifestation of the rancor and envy that people have for Western civilization as everyone around fails to deliver the goods that were promised based on the false premise that we’re all intellectually equal. Thus we must share, be it through the upcoming climate change handouts, medicine without frontiers, or international food aid, to name a few. “Hunger In Africa Defies Logic But Is Predictable” shines light on the issue of ineptitude.

The time has come to lock the freebie door and throw away the key because if we’re all equal, everyone should be at the same socio-techno-economic level in 2020 without external aid or intellectual property theft. It’s that simple!
