Glenn Beck gets one right!
Hard to believe, I know, but it's true. Beck says that "social justice" and "economic justice" are "code words" for communism. Quite right!
Of course Beck also says they are code words for fascism, too, because fascists preached the "rights of workers." That's where Beck, like so many on the right, go wrong. Because fascism was no more for the "rights of workers" than those who wage war are actually for "peace." Talk is cheap, and often, meant to intentionally deceive. It's actions that count, and that's where we learn that, between communism (or socialism) and fascism (and let's throw in "capitalism" as well), only one of them is actually for social and economic justice. And it isn't fascism (or capitalism).
