What would a just legal system even look like in a socialist society? It seems like the legal system under capitalism still holds on to a lot of weird feudal stuff, so it’s kind of hard for me to get my head around what would come after this, if we completely destroyed the bourgeois legal system.
I have no education in law and it all seems intentionally opaque, so I feel like I can’t even begin to imagine an alternative.
The courts are honestly the only liberal institution I generally support continuing within a socialist society.
Their job is essentially to just follow the text of the law and existing court rulings. So long as those other things are good, the courts will be good.
Now on the other hand, our broader AG/prosecutor system is totally fucked and they always will just hyper focus on targeting a specific part of the law alongside whatever their police bring into them.
