Distributive justice: a practical analysis of Michael Walzer s social goods distribution theory in a non-hypothetical Brazilian community in the 80 s in a totalitarian government country rescues the discussion between the liberalism x communitarianism currents that took place in that same decade. Those currents discuss more egalitarian political proposals in the search of a fairer modern society. Not having the purpose of making an inventory of those thought currents and stopping at Walzer s communitarian line, this research aims at reflecting on the form of distribution of the social goods in a camp, a private and nonhypothetical community located in Iraq. Walzer s analysis is transported to the camp located in Iraq in the 80 s. Contrasting sensations were part of life in the community: externally, there was war and destruction; internally, there was the construction of a highway, a veiled consent on the reason that justified the presence of all of them at that place. Thereby, the summit of contradiction is designed: destruction and construction. The methodological inspiration, as well as the main theoretical milestone was Spheres of Justice, a book by Michael Walzer. The descriptive and exploratory approach work with no ambition to develop an ethnographic work also counted on data collection by means of a semi-structured interview with some parts of the statements made by Brazilians who lived in the camp. In that context, the school as a social good went to the spotlight once it is thought that the qualification of people with a sense of justice would be one of the paths in the search for a fairer society and education would be the solution for that qualification. To think of the complex equality as well as the community provisions in a modern, private, multicultural and plural community with its diversity of collective identities makes any attempt to defend one only thought or one only theory challenging. The conclusion is that some of Walzer s analysis categories apply to the relationships that were produced in the camp and some do not, and it is also possible to notice the inconsistency of some of his arguments within that context. To think of such a complex society, it is necessary to have an heterogeneous look, whatever the philosophical or political current may be.
