If the justice system, being an essential part of the state (which is an organ of class dictatorship), as well as a reflection and self-justifying instrument of an class system (which capitalism undoubtedly is), then the entire justice system itself is equally flawed by default and therefore any attempt to "improve" it is futile, and only strengthens or enhances the social relationships within prevailing social order. I have about as much desire to do that as I want to drown when I go swimming. You say it isn't working as intended, Shoju, but given the material analysis, I beg to differ - it is working almost EXACTLY as intended. The whole thing fails miserably, and needs to be scrapped. And I don't just mean the justice system. Bernstein Reformism is essentially utopian, and a load of crap.
