*1) The Rightists say that the legal system exists to protect democracy; it cannot be a weapon for the dictatorship.
Answer: Actually democracy is always of a class nature. Socialist democracy is for the masses of the people. For exploiters there is only dictatorship. Only by strengthening the dictatorship can its democratic function be fulfilled.
2) The Rightists say that the laws are inadequate, and there is a need to strengthen the legal system.
Answer: The Rightists want to strengthen the legal system not to protect people, but to tie the hands and feet of the public security forces. For this reason they say the more detailed the laws the better.
3) The Rightists say that the class struggle has been brought to a conclusion so there is no need to stress the dictatorship.
Answer: The Rightist attacks on the Party and socialism prove this wrong. Counter-revolution will continue to exist as long as imperialism and capitalism continue to exist.
4) The Rightists maintain that mass movements destroy the legal system.
Answer: The socialist legal system has been produced out of the experience and struggle of the masses. Mass movements lead to the formulation of laws.
5) The Rightists say that the Party's leadership in regard to law means that there is no difference between the Party and the government and that the Party has taken the place of the government. Furthermore, they say that Party committees do not understand law or the legal profession which, they say, should be led by people within the legal profession.
Answer: The Constitution stipulates that the country shall be under the leadership of the working class. The Party is the representative of the working class. Furthermore, the law is not something mystical. It is something which is produced under the leadership of the Party in accordance with Marxist-Leninist theories regarding the state and law. These theories summarize the experience of the masses in struggle. Thus how can the Rightists say Communists do not understand law?
