(20,709 posts)I can accept that he sees economic justice as one means to the end of overall social justice.
But still, his focus, at this moment, is primarily on economic justice. The policies that he talks about most frequently and passionately are economic, and not social. He spends more time and energy, for example, talking about minimum wages and unions and taxes on the rich than he does about (say) abortion, LGBT rights, and racial discrimination.
Again, not that he doesn't care about social issues, but he clearly feels that at this moment in history, the most important thing to fight for is economic justice. And that's a defensible position. But not everyone agrees with it -- some people think that there should be more direct priority on social issues. That's a defensible position also.
