What is your political position? And how would you define "social justice"?

Question

Economically are you a neoliberal, part of the New Left, a communist, etc. ?

Socially (as in issues not of political economy but issues like family, abortion, feminism, etc.) are you a conservative, liberal or something in between (but how much more are you leaning to the conservative side or the liberal side more than the other)?

Thanks for answering!, but please try to completely answer.

Briefly identify your political economic stance and where you stand socially, then define social justice from your viewpoint.

Rough Example: I am a socialist (I identify with such groups as the NDP in Canada, the former PSI in Italy, etc). Socially I am quite liberal: I support feminism, and the equality of women and minorities in the workplace (incomes, jobs and professions), at home (gender constructed roles, etc.) and politically . . . ETC.

Social justice is more social, economic and environmetnal rights . . . reducing the disparity of money and power . . . more democracy (expand) and economic fairness (expand) . . .

Answer 1

Social justice is ensuring that everyone has a fair shot at success. If you choose to waste your chance by selling drugs, quitting school, committing crimes, etc. sucks to be you.

Answer 2

I am a screaming radical. I think we have way too much government interference in our lives.

I think seat belt laws, child restraint laws, regulations about fights between school kids, kids kissing kids in kindergarten getting sued and a charge being filed is a perfect example of just how sick American society is.

I believe the criminal justice system of today is a cruel and unusual punishment of the taxpayer and the criminal. Instead of locking them up erect a whipping post and introduce the criminal to the cat of nine tails.

I am a firm believer in a man's right to be a fool and in the next man's right to kick his *** if it is too far out of line.

I think a persons civil rights are important but they end where the next guys start.

Homeland security we should require all students in 8th grade who are legal US citizens to learn the use, maintance, and correct use (mine will be different from most) of fire arms. I also believe that all military personal with an honorable discharge should be sworn law enforcement officers and should carry concealed or openly at all times. Those are the only laws concerning possession of fire arms that should be allowed.

I think illegal aliens have no civil rights and after being deported once, they should be subject to sale overseas to pay for their legal fees.

I believe in courtesy, and think to keep it in style that there should very formalized dueling. Two classes to the first blood and to death to be decided prior to the duel.

I think that lawyers and professional politicians should have a bounty on them just like coyotes do in NM.

Answer 3

I am a Conservative. I define social justice as living with the choices we make.

Answer 4

When your young, your on the left side of the fence. When you get old, you jump to the right side of the fence. If you sit on the fence...you get splinters right where it hurts! LOL!
