Liberty > Justice. Discuss...
Liberty is easier to assess and harder to game: is some one, or some group, or some state, infringing on your freedom? Justice is trickier to assess and easier to game; it's also important, but it's tough to know when we've really got it.

Attainment of perfect justice is really outside of the scope of human knowledge and power, which is why it is so tough. Wrt justice, we somewhat feel our way in the dark seeking to attain it.

In Judaism and Christianity, a form of justice is delegated to man by God, but there is a clear understanding that the view of man is hindered, and true justice and the setting right of all things requires a knowledge and will that far surpasses those of mankind.

Is it unjust if someone or something is imposing their will upon you and you have no recourse? Yes. It's probably very hard to have freedom without a functioning system of justice (the law). Which, I think, is different than what the social justice ppl might be alluding to.

Freedom is a necessary prerequisite for justice, but the reverse is not true.

We can recognize absence of justice. We fail to share natural wealth equally (or a monetary representation of it). Despite statements from pol. philosophers thru centuries that ppl have a right to take from the commons Respect PUBLIC property rights, too: https://gaiabrain.blogspot.com/2018/06/natural-law-requires-respect-of-public.html …pic.twitter.com/5W8uPIu0bS
