Some Facts About Social Justice

By Peter Allen


One has most likely heard about some concepts of socialism either in a lecture or probably on TV by a speech made by left wing parties. In a nutshell, socialism centers around a concept that is known as social justice. This brand of justice that socialist movements are fighting for revolves around the idea of equality for the people that live in a society.

In a nutshell, this principle circles around the principle of equality. This socialist concept simply means that all people in a society must have equal access to basic rights that allow people to have opportunities, healthcare, and justice under the law. This also means that any form of prejudice or bias against anyone due to their being part of certain minority group is forbidden.

Now, this kind of socialist concept does not have any affiliation to a specific movement or party. However, it is a concept that is associated with the leftist movements specifically the Democratic party in the US or the socialist party. However, there are other socialists who do not identify or embrace the ideologies of the Democrats but rather have their own brand of socialist ideology.

Although this concept has been branded with an extremist type of perspective because of its use by the Marxists and communists, the whole principle of the concept is generally for the benefit of society. While these movements brought the concept to a more radical definition and enforced it by fear, it has different meanings today. In fact, most ideologies, even in a democratic society, has at least one element of this principle.

While that is the view of socialism in the past, today sees a different fight for this kind of justice in the form of human rights movements. Since the concept revolves around equality, it is no surprise that human rights activists would take up its mantle and fight for it to benefit the people. With a very prejudiced society, these activists aim to level out the playing field with more reforms.

Racism in the criminal justice system is something that socialist groups who advocate equality are fighting for as of current. In the American criminal system, white men are usually treated more leniently as compared to black men or Latino. This can be interpreted as a form of prejudice due to racial background.

Another thing that socialist groups are fighting for would be healthcare. According to their ideology, healthcare is a basic human right that should be given to all people equally without any prejudice since it makes up the entire well being of a person. They want to reform the present system wherein quality healthcare is sometimes viewed as a privilege for those who have money.

In a nutshell, this brand of justice is really all about equality. The only known problem about this concept is that it divides people in a way that each group has their own definition of what it means which also translates to them having their own specific reforms. While it is a great principle to follow, implementation would be a challenge unless all socialist groups are able to agree on all reforms they want for their respective societies.
