      That has certainly been the case in some places, though by no means all of them. Enforcement is also a separate issue to the law itself.

      But to provide some maybe better examples, do laws that enshrine workers’ rights to form a union only serve to benefit the rich? Laws that limit donations to political parties? I really don’t think you can make that argument for all laws.

      Then that’s not a problem with the law, but with enforcement.

      If there was whatever glorious socialist revolution tomorrow, that law would stay.

        My guy, the institution of law and its enforcement cannot be studied in isolation of one another. They’re both different arms of the same state. And the state represents the Bourgeoise, so there’s loopholes and bribes that keep the rich from facing punishment that the poors are subjected to for far minor crimes.

        This honestly feels like arguing over semantics while trying to obfuscate the point being made
