Destruction of Marxism, Communism ---Part 2
by Arijit on Jun 08, 2008 05:21 AM   Permalink

In this context I will draw readers attention to another research paper:
Piers Beirne and Alan Hunt, 1988, Law and the Constitution of Soviet Society: The Case of Comrade Lenin. Law & Society Review, Vol. 22, No. 3, pp. 575-614.
Beirne & Hunt demonstrated “Notwithstanding several uncritical accounts by Soviet authors, there is no sustained treatment of Lenin's conception of law and legality in the transition from capitalism to communism”. Their 41-page article on the findings reveal many crucial facts which is still applicable for the sustenance of FEUDAL, RACIST, FASCIST, NEO-MARXIST CPIM/CPI. I quote below few lines from Beirne & Hunt (1988) which are self-explanatory:
'This theoretical grounding of Lenin's concept of the dictatorship of proletariats (DoP) pro-vides a key for unlocking both the coherence and the contradiction of his views on the role of law in the socialist transition. The coherence of his views can be expressed in the form of five theses (I quote only thesis 1 & 5 for limitation of space):

Thesis 1: Bourgeois law is inherently limited to the unequal distribution relations on which it is founded. Yet during the bourgeois democratic revolution it provides a significant arena of struggle for securing universal political liberties – the cornerstone of the bourgeois democracy – and in which democratic forces can secure concessions from the ruling classes.
