On the The deluded cult of social justice by John Gray

The deluded essay by John Gay! He is apparently a closet social justice warrior! His interpretations of history or of Friedrich von Hayek are truly strange!

"Such policies need not invoke any ideal of social justice. The NHS does not exist in order to transfer resources from the healthy to the unwell, or even to provide medical care to those who cannot afford it. It is there to enable everyone to share a part of their vulnerability in common. Institutions of this kind do not serve distributive ends. They promote social cohesion, and thereby political stability."
Anyone, who praises like this one of the most socialist government programs in the history of Great Britain/United Kingdom is deluded! 

"If there is anything approaching an iron law in history, however, it is that revolutions are followed by injustice worse than existed in the ancien régime. ...  The American Revolution is no exception. For indigenous peoples, which under British rule were sheltered from settler expansion, it was an unmitigated disaster."
There are iron laws in history unless you are a fan of Karl Marx and Hegel! His interpretation of the benevolence of the British empire towards indigenous people is almost comical!
