I tend to think the concept of fairness relates to small scale interactions and attempts to abstract it towards society don't really work that well. Also if there were a readily available concept of social justice I don't know why everyone wouldn't just do that. Like why would everyone in the world constantly be tolerating unfairness. I also am not really sure that fairness exists as like a rule but rather just something pleasant. Like if I take more than my share it's mean and bad of me but it doesn't like create a cosmic imbalance. In conclusion, please support communism over liberalism.

Communism's biggest limitation is its inability to explain and establish morality and fairness. Until communism is expanded and updated in light of this fact, it will always be insufficient.

The biggest problem about the philosophy of historical fluidity and change is that it has to yet establish a permanent moral ideal.

Your misquote needs to be explained, or better yet a communist could try stepping up to the crease and resolve the underlying issue.

agreed, stalin killed billions of people by failing to bring communism to the world outside the glorious Soviet Union and abandoning us all to the ravages of capitalism. If Stalin could only managed to have lived forever this not happen

I ended up writing way too much garbage. Anyway, the basic principal of Marxism is that it studies the movement of social organization (both development and decay) based on contradiction. On the very premise alone, if social organization is the primary factor of keeping the human race alive then a persons morals are not just secondary to social organization, but informed by that social organization in the first place. This is apparent when we consider how things like, say human sacrifice, can be either acceptable or monstrous depending on what social context both the actor and his judges are in.

That's what I meant by the misquote is that Marxism is a philosophy of the change of social structure and finds morality as subservient to society in the first place. If we consider that humanity is something that is always reorganizing itself then it follows that morality is something that is always reorganizing itself. I'm sure you know that the word "morality" comes from "mores" (customs.)
