For a cause to be just, there has to be a telos, a desired end-state, that offers a decent outcome to everyone, even those perceived to be on the other side of the cause. 1/

"Decent" doesn't mean an outcome everyone desires or would at present consent to. If that were the case, there would be no conflict. 2/

But a just cause offers outcomes it can credibly argue all parties *should* consent to, all parties would be fairly served if they did consent to, even though for now they do not all consent. /fin
