Get the Social Security mug.The (typically online) practice of preaching for equality for people of all religions, races, genders, and sexual orientations. When done right, this can be a fantastic thing. Unfortunately, social justice tends to be done wrong, giving things like the gender equality movement and the gay rights movement a bad name.
Good social justice: Equality for everyone regardless of your background!

Get the Ice Cream Social mug.The way any given society is organized; its internal hierarchy. Individuals are placed on a vertical rule, or «ladder»; Their position on this ladder (high being «good» and low being «bad») is determined by their level of attainment of a certain quality perceived as «desirable» by the community as a whole.
1) in a modern sub-society such as highschool, "physical strength" and "possession of expensive clothing" are considered «desirable» qualities; thus, individuals possessing these qualities are positioned high on the ladder («good»), while individuals possessing none of these qualities or their opposites are positioned low on the ladder («bad»).

Get the socialism mug.Social liberty is the synthesis of individual independence and communal autonomy from overarching government or state control.
Social liberty is the rejection of the concentration of decision-making authority into distant, oligarchical, centralized bureaucracies - federal or monolithic - and the embrace of diffusion and localization of that decision-making authority.
Social liberty exists in a political, social, and economic environment which allows voluntary accession to associations, but also permits a person to choose to remain free of restraint by society, except in cases in which an individual's claim of freedom interferes with another individual's right to be free from unwarranted, aggressive coercion or harm.
An economic system of social liberty regards free-market capitalism and democratic, communalistic socialism as equally conducive means towards the ends of generalistic liberation from tyranny.
