On liberal fascists
"It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences." -- C. S. Lewis

Aristotle distinguished between distributive justice and rectificatory justice. Those labels were clearly agenda-driven.
Of course you can expect such simplistic generalizations from a man who cherry-picks Bible quotations.
His examination of Social Justice is exactly right on and his choice of Biblical quote also is right on.
Because a person is poor does not make them right, all it says is they have no or less money, much as the lefties would have us believe otherwise.
sounds clearly stated to me.
Prager and Aristotle agree, more or less. The left's so-called social "justice" is Aristotle's distributive "justice" which is egalitarian equality of outcome, an impractical, anti-capitalistic, anti-social conception having "nothing to do with justice." And to quote F.A. Hayek: "... the worst use of 'social', [a word] which ... wholly destroys the meaning of any word it qualifies, is ... 'social justice'".
I've noticed the same people who use the term "social justice" also rave on about attacking the root causes of crime.
They usually don't understand in either case.
Yes. To the left, all 'root causes' are 'social'. Individual morality and responsibility have no role to play - it's everyone else's fault.
