While speaking at an event this month, Van Jones was asked to define social justice. He did that by explaining that true social justice is achieved when everyone’s lives are essentially the same. As the video’s creator pointed out, that’s communism.

Posted on January 25, 2011 at 12:34pmThe one thing always missing from this Utopian, communist mentality….self determination.
Communism removes ALL incentives for personal professional, financial growth and achievement.
One will never willingly work harder for the state than they will for their own families or themselves.
Why should anyone bust their hump just so “the state” can take it away and “spread the wealth around”?
In Van Jones’ mind, equality means the Government determines one’s lot in life.
What country I wonder can Jones point to as being a successful example of communism?
Like all that lean his way, they truly believe that “This time, we can do it better!” despite hundreds of years of practical evidence that prove the opposite.

So what happens to people that lose their ability to become successful… what happens to their ambition?
What happens to people that lose their ability to fail.. will they just sit back and take what‘s given to them knowing that the system won’t let them fail? I’d bet on it.

Posted on January 25, 2011 at 12:26pmWhat a stupid man. First, by definition, nothing can be made “more perfect,” a phrase often employed by King Barry (who echoes it from King A. Lincoln). The definition of the word perfect is “conforming absolutely to the description or definition of an ideal type; excellent or complete beyond practical or theoretical improvement; entirely without any flaws, defects, or shortcomings;accurate, exact, or correct in every detail.”
Now, here’s a question for you, Mr. Vanevil: would you be willing to put your life into a lottery with people who have worked hard, sacrificed, and earned every d____ penny they have without any help from affirmative action and all other giveaways to people of the preferred color choice? Would you be willing to have to have done everything they had to do to achieve any success that they have had? No? I didn’t think so.
You are presenting a false choice and trying to manipulate people’s emotions, just as all of you scummy Communists do. It’s not working, buddy. We are sick of people like you, and we’re not going to take it any more.

Posted on January 25, 2011 at 12:22pmThe teachings of Communism are directed toward one final result—world revolution and the triumph of international Communism. The achievement of this aim would mean the violent and complete destruction of the American Government. Any person who subscribes to these teachings, regardless of his reason, is working against American democracy and for the benefit of international Communism’s chief leader, Soviet Russia. The “philosophical Communist” who advocates Marxism-Leninism might just as well be working as an agent of a foreign power because he is aiding its cause. He is, in fact, however, being “played for a sucker” by the Communists, who consider him a “dupe,” a person not to be trusted but only to be used and then discarded.

Posted on January 25, 2011 at 12:21pmI agree we would all live the same–except for the elites ruling over us.
They will have shops we can’t enter, and resorts where we aren’t allowed to vacation. They will have anything they want on request, while we wait in lines for basics like toilet paper. The elites will be warm in winter while our thermostats are a mandatory 66 degrees. In summer, they will be comfortable while our air conditioners (if allowed to us) can’t by law cool a room below 82 degrees.
Our food and fuel will be rationed while the elites have chauffeur-driven limousines. We will be at the mercy of criminals, while the elites are protected by armed guards. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if we had to pay for a police investigation after being victimized.
Our homes can be raided after midnight, while corruption among the elites goes unnoticed.
Movies, TVs, radio, books, and news outlets will be heavily censored, while the elites can read, hear, or view anything they want.
On and on…
This is the vision the elites have for America’s future and, sadly, many on the Left either want it to happen or simply refuse to believe it. Evidence the liberals who post here. Their depth of denial is so vast that it’s impossible to have a genuine discussion with any of them.
The Left must be fought at every possible turn and in every way under the law.

Posted on January 25, 2011 at 12:17pm“social justice” is just a euphemism for communism. “Social Justice” is just a rationalization, an excuse, for the government to come and rob you of your property, to be given to others. There is only one true Justice, and that is God’s Justice. God’s Justice is written on the heart of every human being. God’s Justice provides that every individual has a God-given Right to keep the fruits of his or her labour. Even the youngest child knows that having your property taken away by someone else is wrong. “Social Justice” is just an elaborate lie to get around this simple human Truth.

Posted on January 25, 2011 at 12:11pmAlways funny that the people in charge of trying to bring socialism to America promise the poor that they too can have what the rich (the leaders of the revolution) have. But the leaders never seem to want to give up their wealth to help their fellow man. Why is Van in such nice suits all the time, I don’t see the unemployed that he wants to bring up in anything close to that. The fact of the matter is, socialist leaders are just using capitalism of government fundamental ideas as a way to get rich. But they provide nothing to their “consumer” other than false hope. They are worse than video game producers.

Posted on January 25, 2011 at 12:22pmAmerica was already set up to guarantee equal chances:
“… all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed …”
We each have the right to keep what we work for – that’s equality. And since each of us do different things, or some of us are more industrious than others, there’s never going to be economic equality – nor should there be, because to insist otherwise is to deny someone their right to keep what they work for.

Posted on January 25, 2011 at 12:29pmHe has said before that he is a communist. What he proposes has been tried, and has failed many times. There is little need for him and those who think like him, to try to change the United States of America. The USA was formed on an entirely different plane of thought, that people were endowed by their Creator with unalienable rights – rights not given or able to be taken by a ruler or government. Van Jones and his like-minded friends need to simply move to China. There they can join in the opposite experiment. They would not have to change a thing. Now, in case you are wondering why such smart communists don’t do that, it’s because they really want power, and they would not be given power in China, the power there is already taken. It’s just a power thing, and a thing selfish people clammor for. If they won’t go, can we just put them on a plane to Bejing?

I mean, I can‘t for the life of me figure out supposedly intelligent people can’t perform simple reasoning like this. That’s why I am convinced these people pushing this agenda know full well what happens to future generations, and they’re OK with it because they are striking it rich by leading these organizations. And, if the country is worse off 50 years from now, their thinking is that it probably will be anyway. At least this way, you can knock whitey down a few notches.

Posted on January 25, 2011 at 3:03pmHe’s not going to give up anything. In his mind he is one of the elites (farmers) and thus he is not one of the sheep (us). Just wait and see what happens when he finds out that a lot of the sheep are actually wolves and that they would love to eat a bunch of farmers.

No it is not, in communism the elites have everything and you have nothing like everyone else.
When everyone has equal – its the Dark Ages.

Posted on January 25, 2011 at 3:49pmYour President not mine hired this Communist knowing full well of his beliefs. Don‘t tell me he didn’t for I am a mature man and I don’t believe silly notions. This is what obama believes and he will lie to convince you the uneducated and slightly slow that he is a good American which he is not. He is your and my enemy and America’s SHAME.

Posted on January 25, 2011 at 4:27pmWhen he says “He did that by explaining that true social justice is achieved when everyone’s lives are essentially the same,” does he mean everyone lives as nicely as him, or everyone lives like skid row bums? Both types of lives would be equal, but only the skid row bum life would seem possible considering that some people will never achieve sobriety let alone a decent job and personal responsibilities.

“The ruling class gets to be statists, not capitalists.”
If they made something, they’d get to keep it and make money off of it, right? Statists, they’d be – and Capitalists, also.

Posted on January 25, 2011 at 7:34pmEconomic equality can ONLY be achieved through government sanctioned and sponsored theft……period!!!!!! But the real goal of communists is not nor hasn’t it ever been the lofty ideal of making everyone equal (What a joke). It is to control and dominate the masses so those at the wheel can live like kings. And live like kings they do….seems like equality only applies to us…….the big dumb idiots that need to be told how to live every aspect of their lives by the all wise all benevolent elite (gag for effect !!!)

Report Post »Did he mean the social teet-sucker who is living on my limited dime has work to do? if so, then I agree. I would NEVER IN LIFE change my poor income, but work ethic-minded ans intellegent human existance for a welfare mother of 5+ one on the way just to collect a check. The sense of worthless existance and worthlessless to my fellow man in society would make me kill myself within a week. not to mention my 78 year old Grampa (I am a 39 year old former Mareine) would beat me to death before i could get to the razor blades. And i would thank him as he did this.
Work. Ethic.A thing not taught today by American parents or American society. I have been on too many jobs (on one now) where work ethic is not valued at all, given sway to the bitching of American employers. i struggle to emphasise My ethic to those untrained, and not only does my advice go unheaded, management often calls me the “bad guy” for berating this poor needful, “untrained, unskilled, useless idiot that can’t scratch his ass without looking to someone to nod and say “yeah, go scratch your ass.”
The first blame lies on the parents, but the secondary blame may be more important as they now have more ‘sociable” responsibility for the outcome of a child’s life: Tjhe Teacher.
Teachers….and the school system, have much more responsibility placed at their feet by the DOE to re-educate our stundents through union protocal, and regulation has placed less blame at the (rightful) feet of the parents. Teachers can now admonish parents for letting their children “slack” in any number of areas, including absenteeism and “not being fit” as was in the news today. I say we, the people, turn this around, and make teachers educators and NOT the big brother wannabe‘s of our children’s lives! That is up to US the PARENTS to decide!Go to your PTAs, go to your school board hearings and make your voices be heard LOUD and STRONG!
WE THE PEOPLE ARE SICK TO DEATH OF YOU INDOCTRINATING OUR CHILDREN AND TELL US HOW, IN YOUR VIEW, THEY MUST ME RAISED!
pULL every DOLLAR OF LAND TAX REVENUE FROM YOUR COUNTY SCHOOL SYSTEM UNTIL YOU ARE HEARD!
Find others in your communitee who are like minded and hire a lawyer! You can find lawyers who are honorable who will do this work pro-bono!Make them stop the madness of teacher-unions, that is the death of our educational system and the death of America as we know it!
Fight at the local level people, and our power SHALL spread!
Fight now, or watch our children die later.
America is waiting.

Posted on January 25, 2011 at 8:53pmHow equal was everyone in the USSR or East Germany? How equal in wealth to Castro are the citizens of the Island Paradise of Cuba? They are just wanting to create a soceity where the many suffer for the prosperity of the few. Van Jones, the Obamas, Fox-Pivens, Alinski, Pelosi and Boxer along with all the other progressives expect to live a privledged life at the expense of all the little revolutionary they are inciting to riot. Boy! All those loyal little left wing liberals and progressives they have trained and used will really be surprised by their ultimate fate if the utopia they are fighting for is ever realized!
Universal education is the most corroding and disintegrating poison that liberalism has ever invented for its own destruction.
