When did you realize that all laws are made to benefit the rich and/or oppress the rest of us, and a politician's job is to write the laws and sell them to the voters?

I guess I haven’t yet. Maybe you can help me: How do laws against, for example, rape, only benefit the rich while oppressing the rest of us?

They are enforced against poors. While rich rapists walk free.

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

Somehow, people seem to find it plenty clear.
