Message of the Comintern (SH) on occasion of Karl Marx's 206th anniversary

We greet all Marxists around the world, because today we celebrate together the 206th birthday of Karl Marx, the birthday of the founder of Marxism.

It is the birthday of one of the greatest revolutionaries in human history.

Karl Marx put all his revolutionary thought and selfless revolutionary deeds at the service of the liberation of the international working class.

Karl Marx was the founder of scientific communism, created the world outlook of the proletariat and became the great leader and teacher of the world proletariat.

On the occasion of the 206th anniversary of his birth, we would like to take a look at

MARX AND ENGELS

ABOUT JURISTIC QUESTIONS

As far as the juristic question of legality is concerned, we put forward the following Stalinist-Hoxhaist definition:

Stalinism-Hoxhaism, on the juristic question of legality, is the juristic theory and tactics of the struggle for world proletarian legality in general, the juristic theory and tactics of the struggle for legality under the dictatorship of the world proletariat in particular, and finally the juristic theory and tactics of the struggle for the transition to the abolition of all legal norms under world communism. Laws, states and classes, however, will not die out in world communism, neither by themselves nor beforehand. This requires not only a far long period of time in world communism, but also a persistent and patient struggle of the entire world society that never lets up.

Marx and Engels teach that law and legality always have a class character.

For Marx and Engels, law in a class society is always based on the inequality between the exploiters and the exploited.

The ruling class, which has material power, also exercises legal power. For this purpose, the bourgeoisie has its own advocates - as the "Manifesto of the Communist Party" correctly states:

"The bourgeoisie has (...) transformed jurists (...) into its paid wage labourers."

Marx and Engels fought against the idealist views by applying the method of historical materialism. According to this, law is part of the superstructure of class society, which reflects the economic basis of class society. Legal relations are determined by economic relations (basis/superstructure). The subjective factors are subordinate to the objective factors: from the point of view of dialectical materialism, the legal factor can be reversed from an obstacle (in capitalist society) to a driving force (in socialist society) (see quotation of Stalin). With the victory of the world socialist revolution, legal relations thus develop into a powerful lever for the construction of world socialism.

The dictatorship of the proletariat cannot function without the existence of legal norms, just as legal norms cannot be put into practice without the proletarian state and its coercive organs.

World socialist legality is an important principle of the world socialist state, the dictatorship of the world proletariat. In this we differ from the anarchists, for example.

The elaboration and perfection of world socialist legality does not take place without the active participation of the working class, not without the active participation of all labourers. Therein lies the guarantee that the masses of world socialist society, who have made the laws themselves, will observe them voluntarily and be conscious fighters to defend them.

Fighting for the righjts of the world proletariat, fighting for World socialist legality - is a great school of world communism.

While bourgeois law is an instrument of the maintenance of the capitalist world order, world socialist law serves as an instrument of the dictatorship of the world proletariat, especially as an instrument of the struggle against the restoration of world capitalism.
