Rawls' "thought experiment" is used to prove that all people would choose socialism. It's an explicitly political use of begging the question, as I said. Kant was a moral philosopher. There is a difference. And there's a reason why Locke, Hume, Rousseau, and Kant never came up with Rawl's "veil of ignorance": because it is itself ignorant.
