A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

No it isn't. It's a pretense that the class who controls the violent apparatus of the state is impartial. It's propaganda and nothing else.
It's an ideal in that people should be working towards taking control of the state apparatus and making it so. The class struggle will always make it impossible to reach, but it can always be pushed to be better.
People are ALREADY in control of the state apparatus. What we have is, by now, the very predictable result.
Well, beyond that the alternative is to abolish the state, which I'm not against, but the ideal would remain.
There is no such thing as "blind" justice. What they mean with "blind justice" isn't justice at all, but rather a blind application of and obedience to law - which liberalism have always (and utterly falsely) conflated with "justice."
