A polite term for vengeance.

It's sort of strange, since the opposite is often one of the first things they teach at school - two wrongs don't make a right.

Sure, there's "Restorative Justice", but it's still creation of expectations about forcing the redistribution of something.

I think I'll meander to much and not post if I continue, so I will leave it at that.

Essentially it seems that "justice" is used to mean the proper response to evil. So statists, considering disobedience to be a great evil, while they are not able to change the inborn freedom of people, they can batter the people into submission and do terrible things to them, to take vengeance, as Fool has said, and tighten oppression. That is their "justice".

For anarchists, the great evil is authoritarianism. How do we right the uncountable lives past, ruined, battered, broken against the horrific thing? There is no way to make a wrong thing right; in this way, justice is impossible. Should we say, then, that anarchy is justice enough?
