This is ultimately why I am a political philosopher. I can teach and write about ideals while my fellow countrymen and fellow Mormons champion injustice. Too bad. It is the poor that suffer.

Of course Glenn Beck should have defined his terms better. Or better yet, complete morons like Beck should avoid complex ideas that they do not understand.

Thanks for lurking.

That is what makes me mad. Like Orwell, I am an anti-Marxist socialist/lefty. While I am a lefty in the vein of Rousseau and Kant, that Marx guy gets credit for all of our good ideas, even ones like justice, which he rejected.

That said, while Marx was wrong on much, but he was still freaking brilliant. Good food for thought.

Please, just take a little time to get educated on how the terms “Communism, Marxism, socialism, collectivism” are used today.

I am not sure what Beck is talking about. I am talk about SOCIAL justice. This is inherently political.

“Please, just take a little time to get educated on how the term “SOCIAL JUSTICE” is used today.”

You should probably read some of the posts this post link to. I am actually just shy of a doctorate in “leftist” social justice. I am fully aware of what it stands for, because it is what I stand for.

I will have to address the issue of force sometime. To be honest, the “force charity” argument is sometimes hard for me to deal with because I think it is pretty lame, but I really should explain why. I does take on a certain libertarian view of agency which is hard to defend. I will have to do so in a full post. However, it may be a few weeks. Thanks for your kind support.
