Document Summary
Political theory vs political philosophy, how things are and how things are ought to be; Normative vs descriptive. (first week of class * midterm) It is more descriptive paragraph but its descriptively wrong. Marxism isn"t inevitability but that doesn"t mean that we should reject marx. True marxist theory ought not be concerned with theories of justice. Marxist theory rejects private ownership, if you don"t have private ownership, there is nothing to distribute. Kymlicka says better conception of justice doesn"t really it but incorporates it somehow: Communist justice there is no right to the private ownership of and control of productive resources. This means: good in society (land, homes, resources, aside from the clothes on your back), things aren"t owned, we instead get equal access to public resources. Instead of redistributing private resources, we have equal access to public resources. We get equal access to public resources, rather than equal distribution of private resources.
