The crazy part is taking the huge salary then demanding your employer take on some social justice cause that they have been neutral on or actually already accommodating on.
Social justice means not "equality" but "equity": looking at perceived disparities between social groups and then equalizing them by taking property from perceived "oppressor" groups and transferring to "victim" groups. This is exactly what Stalin, Mao, etc. did.
Why does no one argue that Hitlerism/Mussolini-ism/Francoism wasn't real fascism? "Real" fascism would of course usher in an era of peaceful law and order, harmonious cooperation between govt and business... /s
>Social justice (communism) killed upwards of 100 million
>social justice wins the "Worst Thing Ever" award
You're absolutely insane.
Social justice is NOT communism. Got it? Because I'm repeating myself, and you're not listening to me or refuting what I said.
Apparently you have convinced yourself that phrase means something totally different than it actually does, and you're histrionically obsessing and freaking out about it.
You don't get to make up your own whacky definitions of words, and expect people to think you're not crazy or just another worthless troll when you keep insisting you're right and they're wrong.
So social justice is "communism" and the "Worse Thing Ever", huh?
Please link to the professor at Brown University and the syllabus of the class you took where you were taught that social justice is equivalent to communism, and the "Worse Thing Ever". Or perhaps you're just making shit up, or completely misunderstood what they were trying to teach you.
Do you really believe that's what the original poster was referring to when they wrote "demanding your employer take on some social justice cause"?
Exactly who is demanding their employer support communism or perform the "Worse Thing Ever"? You mean stop paying their employees and insist they keep working for free, or mass murder hundreds of millions of people?
Is that what you're afraid Twitter will do? Then give me some evidence of that, or admit you're just making crazy shit up and trolling.
If you're simply against health care, and for racism and fascism, and hate to pay any taxes, and you abstain from using any government services like public roads or police or air traffic control, then just come out and say it, and stop beating around the bush.
Come back when you'r less unhinged, and can use the same language and definitions that the rest of the world does.
This is "no true scotsman". The ideas underpinning Communism, Marxism, Socialism, and Social Justice are intrinsically linked and overlapped. Castro himself supposedly said "No hay comunismo ni marxismo, pero... justicia social". At the core is the proposition that certain classes / socio-economic groups are "oppressors" while others are "oppressed", and that we in the present must right the social injustices of the past. None of this is controversial or a mischaracterization.
My professors at Brown of course advocated for socialism and social justice, and I too drank the kool-aid while I was there. I graduated 15 years ago so good luck finding links :) (As an aside, there is current a prof of econ Glenn Loury who publicly takes the anti-social justice stance, he has a YouTube channel. Other profs I knew such as one who escaped the Cultural Revolution in China are surely opposed to it as well, but they keep it on the DL.)
Back to the original post, employers who play the SJ game find their employees dividing themselves into oppressor and oppressed groups, and starting grievance wars which ultimately distract from the mission of the company. It's a silly exercise at companies like Twitter where most employees would be within the top 0.5% of wealth worldwide.
But in the US it's really not well supported. If you want to found an LLC you click a few buttons on a form online and talk to any lawyer.
If you want to found a co-op, you generally have to file the paperwork in person or via the mail. No one in the municipal government will help, because they don't know anything except LLCs. You'll need to find a lawyer who can draft not only the articles of incorporation, but also can advise on the issuing of shares, democratic operation, and how new members can join.
Because profits are controlled by the workers, capitalistic investors won't know what to do with you, so you'll need to put in extra effort to find investors who are willing to be paid but not be made owners (or not more than any workers).
It's a high, high initial cost. But once it's going it can be incredibly self sustaining. Every dollar of profit ends up back in the pockets of the people working there, equally. Or they can collectively choose to use that profit to expand.
