ABSTRACT

The national solution required the support of a comprehensive constitutional state which guaranteed the right to strike, labour legislation, an infrastructure, and external peace. Likewise, however, there can be no peace with nature without peace among men. One of the greatest barriers to an—inherently possible—peaceful modus vivendi between the superpowers is their mutual perception, the way in which they view each other. This chapter discusses between subjective justice, that is, the just actions of people, and objective justice, that is, a just social state, a just form of coexistence between people. The word “justice” was introduced to the resolution of the World Council of Churches by the churches of the South. The rich of believe in the defence of freedom; the poor hope for the attainment of justice. Social injustice is the unjust distribution of scarce goods. Class rule and social injustice are as old as advanced civilisations, at least 6,000 years.
