Preferred term

socialist justice  

Definition

  • A longing for justice fueled both the rise and the collapse of socialism: justice for the proletarians of all countries, for wage earners without property or power, and for ordinary men and women. But although their battle hymn, The Internationale, sang of law and human rights, early socialists did not see law as a useful instrument for producing justice.
