With regards to the "principles of justice", your definition of justice is awful: It doesn't line up with any accepted dictionary or academic definition of the term. It lines up really nicely with the objectivist movement, though, which is pretty widely derided as hot garbage.
Anyhow, even if I agreed with your concept of "justice", your definition of society is also wonky, if you imagine that it can only be defined by the sum of its current constituents.
Society does not consist of only your contemporaries, and is not made up only of the efforts of those who are currently contributing.
You, as a member of whatever society you are member of, benefit from the contributions of the members of society who have come before you. To some degree, you also suffer from the mistakes of those before you as well. The society you are a member of gives you a great many affordances, some of which you are able to benefit from more than others due to your circumstance, and some of which you do not benefit from at all.
If you believe that you have not benefited from the society you live in, at the expense of others, you need to think on it a little longer.
