If that's the standard, it's ridiculous to say we stopped being a just society in the last 50 years.

  Magna Carta didn't make us a just society, it was the start of making us a just society. Being a just society is not a boolean. We never got 100% there. Nor is it along a single dimension -- you could argue we were more just 50 years ago, as long as you were white.

    > you could argue we were more just 50 years ago, as long as you were white. "Just" can't mean "in my favor" unless your also say that monarchy was very just, for the king. Justice includes equality before the law. Without equality there can't be justice.
