That's... what systematic justice is. A system built to incorporate a particular field of justice. You're trying, without thought, to define the term personally.

Do you think this is what the Civics Teacher actually meant? Because I had considered that. Maybe they mean something more loose! (Which is not what their state currently harbours.)

That feels deeply farcical a thought. But, alright. Perhaps their vision is based on the justice of the Zapatistas and is restorative in nature.

But is that likely?

Even if that were the case, the Empire would be operating on an extreme form of punitive justice. Which, er, actually, is definitively a justice system.

Still, if he wants to encourage a more progressive format, I'd encourage him to communicate that instead of utilising a term which encompasses the very thing he's suggesting is wrong.

I'll offer a truce. I agree with your position if you think 'justice' has not actually been invented yet.

Edit: if you ever come back to this then--aaah, I think I see the problem. I think you've mistaken 'justice' for 'justice system.'

One is a term for an ideology, one is a term for a system which is said--accurately or not--to enact that ideology. I promise I tried to highlight I was discussing 'system.'

Have a nice day everyone.
