John Rawls, 1921-2002 has provided the world with a reason why communism has to rule the world.
He says that justice is when all the people on this world would not know what they would become, a slave, a black female, a rich f*cking American or else, and they had to make a world with minimal conditions for all the peope.
(In A Theory of Justice, Rawls attempts to use a constructivist technique similar to the one Kant used in the formulation of the categorical imperative for his moral philosophy. This technique, which Rawls hopes will show us the underpinnings of what we can all conceive us as a just state, is the so-called "veil of ignorance." By conceiving of ourselves as potential constructors of a mythical just future society, but being ignorant of our racial, social, and economic position within that society, Rawls strips away all those pieces of information he considers to be irrelevant to questions of justice. From this "original position," he considers that the response of a rational person would be to secure only two basic principles of justice. These are a) a schedule of basic rights, including liberty of conscience and movement, freedom of religion, etc., and b)equality of opportunity. Rawls has a particularly inventive way of securing equality of opportunity in that he sees the only way to prevent the stronger (or richer) in his just state from overpowering the weaker (or poorer) in enforcing the maxim, "No redistribution of resources within such a state can occur unless it benefits the least well-off.")
But because the people all want more then the others the only justice is a communist society because then everybody gets what he disurve when they work hard.
