"Social justice encompasses economic justice."

[JCanete]

12. One thing is true, there is no economic justice without important components of social justice,

and yes, economic justice itself is one component of that umbrella meaning of social justice. The question, since this is coming up a lot, is who is advocating for economic justice without social justice?

That isn't Sanders, and if you listen to Sander's recent discussions, I think both with Sarah Silverman, and with Amy Goodman, he points out that racism is a tool that people at the top exploit to divide us. He's not brushing inequality under the rug, he is attempting to expose one of the primary catalysts.

If its the news media talking heads, well I could care less, except that yes, they are propagandizing the public, but they certainly aren't talking about economic justice any more than they are promoting social justice. They're just riffing about that ephemerally defined "jobs" as somehow the other side of some coin with social justice on the other, and pretending if the coin ends up on social justice, nobody gets "jobs." That is typical media horse-shit,yes...derived from the economic message that Sanders was attempting to court white rural americans with, but twisted into something other, and entirely bereft of the original message.

Is there somebody who matters who is saying we should stop fighting for social justice?
