MY DAY BE SO FINE 😍😜 THEN BOOM 😒😩🥴 Shreyan @shreyanjain.net I am a liberal What then would a stable Rawlsian liberal socialist regime look like? In A Theory of Justice Rawls claimed that a liberal socialist regime can also answer to the two principles of justice. We have only to suppose that the means of production are publicly owned and that firms are managed by worker's councils say, or by agents appointed by them. Collective decisions made democratically under the constitution determine the general features of the economy, such as the rate of saving and the proportion of society's production devoted to essential public goods. Given the resulting economic environment, firms regulated by market forces conduct themselves much as before. Although the background conditions will take a different form, especially in the case of the distribution branch, there is no reason in principle why just distributive shared cannot be achieved. Love Me, I’m a Liberal - Phil Ochs The lecture halls are extended gutters and the gutters are full of normative political theory and when the drains finally scab over, all the Rawlsians will drown. The accumulated filth of all their veils of ignorance and difference principles will foam up about their waists and all the guys writing books about some footnote in AToJ and all the people who have never read Robert Paul Wolff will look up and shout 'SAVE US!' …and I'll look down and whisper ' Just read Geuss'.
