Quote by William Allen White

Peace without justice is tyranny.

Peace without justice is tyranny.

Summary

This quote suggests that peace, when not accompanied by justice, can become oppressive and unjust. It implies that a so-called peaceful state can still be considered oppressive if the underlying principles of justice and fairness are absent. It challenges the notion that peace alone should be the ultimate goal, highlighting the importance of addressing underlying social and political inequalities to achieve a truly just and lasting peace. Without justice, peace can become a mechanism for maintaining control and perpetuating oppressive systems. Therefore, justice must be a crucial component for peace to be truly meaningful and beneficial to all.
