The spirit of social justice does not come from the law. It comes from the love of truth and beauty. The genuine- and I mean genuine, regard for the Prophets and their message of love is the greatest impetus for social justice. The love of God in man alone fulfills heaven on earth.
The American Constitution and the Bill of Rights, for example, did nothing to prevent genocide and slavery as founding tragedies. And obviously, neither did Christianity. The objection that additional legislation strove to create a more perfect union is a weak argument at best- because state sponsored genocide and slavery and other social ills persist regardless. In fact, the argument can easily be made that legislation over time has done more to enshrine injustice than suppress it. After all, we live in a militarized fascist corporate state that has abolished genuine representative democracy and replaced it with oligarchy. The notional “more perfect union” has devolved steadily since at least the last 75 years. It is now nothing but trash.
It is time to stop talking about democratic ideals as if they existed. Democracy is dead.
The only remedy at this point is radical love for truth and beauty that completely rejects political posturing and the rhetoric of exhausted idealism. It is time to go rogue for the sake of God and man.
