Political philosophy (What is justice/ a just society (Robert Nozick (The…

- - - - Very hypothetical theory - not saying that we can create this society
        
        Trying to get us to think about what we mean with justice
        
        Creating a conversation about what we are thinking
      - The original position
        
        Hypothetical
        
        Imagine that we have a way of creating a brand new society
        
        Assume that people are rational
        
        Talking about all of the different aspects of society
        
        School, food, government etc
        
        Everyone will be randomly assigned to a new person in that society
        
        Natures lottery
        
        We do NOT know who we are going to be
        
        Therefore we probably do not want a patriarchal society because we could be a woman
        
        Eliminates bias
        
        People who are born in harsh environments could have a easier time if we think we could be in their position
        
        Veil of ignorance
        
        We do not know what will happen
      - 2 rules that cannot be violated
        
        Freedom principle
        
        The society must promote freedom
        
        Freedom of press, democracy, religious freedom
        
        The society cannot compromise freedom at all
        
        Difference principle
        
        Key to the theory, what makes it special
        
        Any type of unequal distribution of resources, such as differences in income, must benefit the least well-off in society
        
        You can make how much money you want, but others should benefit from it
        
        If the people who make much money increases their wages but the people in the bottom get stuck, we would have to tax the people in the top so that it benefits the people in the bottom swell
        
        The ratio between the rich and the poor does not matter. It could go from 60/40 to 80/20, but if everyones standard of living increases then it is okay.
        
        The unequal distribution is okay, but only if the people at the bottom also starts to make more if the people at the top is making more
        
        It is not communism sine freedom is allowed, and therefore private property, and that cannot be compromised
  - - - To put Rawls theory to reality we would need a big government which Nozick does not like
      - Inalienable freedom and rights - with a focus on property
        
        Entitlement theory
        
        IF the government handles your property - your money - then freedom of press is not very useful since the government can do what they want with your property and you do not have any money
        
        Tax is a kind of slavery
        
        If you do not pay your taxes the government punishes you
        
        The government should not be able to take your propert
        
        Freedom of property is the key to all other freedom
      - Very capitalistic society
        
        The government structure should only do the things that are needed in a capitalistic society
        
        Roads, police etc
        
        If we want roads then the people will have to build them
        
        The government does not have to
        
        People could abuse this system by using free medicare and not contributing themselves
        
        The police is funded via a fond
        
        Very low or no taxes
        
        Could be frivilligt
