ABSTRACT
Socialism invented a specific kind of perversion linked to the law. Because the law did not function in socialism as a prohibition, but as a tool to achieve a certain goal – communism – the law continually transgressed itself. That the Party endlessly invented new laws and rewrote the constitution dozens of times reveals how the socialist regime functioned as a pervert who, by transgressing the law, always invents a new one. In socialism the transgression of the law became the law of transgression. This transgression of the law was inherent to the socialist regime; socialism was, in fact, a lawless society. People obeyed the law only if the Party forced them to do so; they did not identify with the system as such. But the question here is, how was it possible that the system functioned for such a long time?
