Here we highlight the centrality of justice - social as distinct from bourgeois-legal justice - in making a living economy: climate justice, design justice and reparations for harms done to peoples historically, by regimes of supremacy: colonisation, enclosure, epistemicide and genocide, development.
> This is a stub xxx > Within a short-term tactical selection of topics in the foprop weave, these matters of justice are engaged under 'Seven Rs' and pluriverse. Tactics in the foprop project
Here we engage with the means of visioning and enacting pluriversal relations in making a living economy. A framing of 'seven Rs' of activist commitment underpins a commitment to design justice in the cultivation of infrastructure and tools, and to social justice in the evolution of Living economy.
Justice stands where 'class' did two generations ago, before decolonial complications, second-generation feminism, the post-Fordist hyper-appropriation of vernacular capability, the bloat of the global super-rich, and modern poverty deployed by neoliberalism as a conscious weapon.
# Design justice Because pattern language is intrinsically a design language (for the continual design, review and remaking of radical practices), we are especially concerned here in foprop with design justice.
We frame this in terms of the Seven Rs of activist commitment: a way of seeing the pluriversal movements that enact our collective 'blessed unrest' with oppression, ugliness and harm. We use the Seven Rs as the columns of a weave, and as rows we run a numer of spheres of practical concern. The intention of design justice is to distribute design attention and subsequent practical provision fairly, across this entire space. Design justice
