Justice

 

On Page 7 of The Cavalier Chronicle is posted the 1/17/24 weekly homily for Sunday (1/21/24). It is entitled Justice Indeed! and is from the 1992 Revised Common Lectionary. I will quote in in full, and then comment on it: “Our world sees power and those with no power. Riches abound for some, but not for others. God can even out the uneven. God can also reward the faithful. Join the faithful this week in church. For you repay to all according to their work. Psalm 62:5-12.”

 

My response: The Bible says that the poor we will always have with us, and that likely is so, and so the rich we always be with us. So, if the poor or those without power are always with us, then the rich or those with power will always be with us.

 

We cannot find justice or roughly equal power-sharing conditions through the Marxist and totalitarian solution of forced equality of outcomes. This social justice non-solution of class warfare between the haves and have-nots does not and cannot ever succeed. It is the power of powerlessness model.

 

Justice for the poor and powerless can only be achieved through free market capitalism among anarchist-individuator supercitizens enjoying maximum personal liberty and no enforced equality within the legal framework of constitutional republicanism.

 

Therein the power of powerfulness, wielded by each supercitizen will provide enough wealth, liberty and power per person to secure for each justice enough to make things right.

 

God will reward the faithful and can even out the uneven, but, as people learn to maverize, their personal self-development will even out roughly what is uneven.
