Socialist Law
- partial or total expulsion of the former ruling classes from the public life at early stages of existence of each socialist state; however, in all socialist states this policy gradually changed into the policy of "one socialist nation without classes"
- diversity of political views directly banned or condemned by legislation
- the ruling Communist party was considered above the law system; in many cases party functionaries were not subject to criminal prosecution but rather to disciplinary measures taken by party committees;
- private property was considered as remnant of the bourgeois society and, as such, harmful; this resulted in high degree of collectivization and nationalization of property;
- low respect for privacy, extensive control of the party over private life;
- low respect for intellectual property, unless state-owned (which directly resulted from the above two principles);
- extensive social warrants of the state (the rights to a job, free education, etc.) in return for a high degree of social mobilization and a low degree of human rights;
- the judicial process lacks adversary character; public prosecution is considered as "provider of justice."
