Marxism Leninism is the idea the communism is still the best, however, needs to be forced upon the people. He believed that People would not fall in line under tyrannical rule, and therefore had to be forced.

Now a days, a judge with no degree of form of education would not even be allowed, but back then, they did not care. The phrase originated from this meaning that there were so many unfair rulings, they outlawed law. This designs was a complete disaster for so many people, innocent people went to jail, and guilty people went free.
