| | Social justice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Social justice is said to be a cover for social engineering or socialism, which is considered an inappropriate course of action for the state. | | | Social justice is also used to refer to the overall fairness of a society in its divisions and distributions of rewards and burdens and, as such, the phrase has been adopted by political parties with a redistributive agenda. | | | Coughlin's organization was known as the National Union for Social Justice and he frequently used the term social justice in his radio broadcasts. |

| | FT December 2000: Defining Social Justice |
| | Social justice rightly understood is a specific habit of justice that is “social” in two senses. | | | Hayek recognized that at the end of the nineteenth century, when the term “social justice” came to prominence, it was first used as an appeal to the ruling classes to attend to the needs of the new masses of uprooted peasants who had become urban workers. | | | The virtue of social justice allows for people of good will to reach different—even opposing—practical judgments about the material content of the common good (ends) and how to get there (means). |

| | Safe Haven Social Justice |
| | In every case the "social justice" service State leads to an expansion of the powers of government and of the officials who constitute it and makes them the primary beneficiaries of the system. | | | While the crime rate has risen significantly throughout the growth of the "social justice" State, the envy and resentment which it breeds are directed primarily at businessmen. | | | Other schools of political and economic thought readily agree with this definition of justice, but they strenuously disagree on the nature and measure of "that which is due." A few natural-rights philosophers, reflecting on the "night watchman's" innate inclination to seize power and privileges, would shun his services and instead rely on contractual arrangements. |

| | Social Justice by Walter Block |
| | Of course, social justice may be defined in yet a third manner: as favoring justice in the "social" arena, as opposed to other venues. | | | For a college to uphold social justice in this sense would be highly problematic, in that two very different things would be connoted by this phrase. | | | Here, all intellectual combatants would favor the promotion of this value; the only difference is that leftists, for example, mean by this some version of egalitarianism, while for libertarians justice consists of the upholding of private property rights. |

| | FrontPage magazine.com :: Social Justice: Code for Communism by Barry Loberfeld |
| | To understand "social justice," we must contrast it with the earlier view of justice against which it was conceived -- one that arose as a revolt against political absolutism. | | | Also verboten is the choice to emigrate, which removes one and one's wealth from the pool of resources to be redirected by the demands of "social justice" and its enforcers. | | | Too obviously, it is not liberalism that atomizes an entity (a concrete), but "social justice" that reifies an aggregate (an abstraction). |

| | In the matter of administration of justice, right from the qazi (magistrate) to the ordinary clerk and the witnesses, all should be particular in upholding justice. | | | This incident points out to the fact that even a man of the caliber of Imam Ali was brought to an ordinary court of law against an ordinary citizen and that no special time or place for the hearing of the case. | | | Anyone who does not go to a mujtahid (a leading religious jurist) and instead carries his personal disputes to the irreligious courts of law and seeks justice from those oppressors should give a second thought to his faith, because he is mistaken to think that he is a Muslim. |
