Great read! Gets to the bottom of things. English title “Equality. What it means and why it matters.” Translated German title “The fights/wars of the future. Equality and social justice in the 21st century” (I like the German one better). #equality #socialjustice
A quotation from Abraham Lincoln
This declared indifference, but as I must think, covert real zeal for the spread of slavery, I cannot but hate. I hate it because of the monstrous injustice of slavery itself. I hate it because it deprives our Republican example of its just influence in the world — enables the enemies of free institutions, with plausibility, to taunt us as hypocrites — causes the real friends of freedom to doubt our sincerity, and especially because it forces so many really good men amongst ourselves into an open war with the very fundamental principles of civil liberty — criticizing the Declaration of Independence, and insisting that there is no right principle of action but self-interest.
Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
Speech (1854-10-16), “In Reply to Senator Douglas,” Peoria, Illinois

A Terrible Mistake According to Southern Land Owners
Justice doesn’t always arrive in sweeping gestures or loud declarations. Sometimes, it walks softly into a room and says, “This isn’t right”—and the world begins to shift.

Contrary to adversarial present conversation, It's not about #left #right #centrist #liberal #Capitalist, #socialist, probably any 'ist' or 'ism' in fact, #Religious or #secular, #Eastern or #Western, etc. It is about #Justice #Equity #Education #Equality #truepeace & more than just an end to war. Its a work of decades likely generations, I'm talking about #Unity the next stage in human evolution. It's actually happening all around & inside each of us.

I put up an essay on my blog, Government is not a Business. These are things I've said before in various ways. I'm just putting them together in an easy-to-reference place.
