This is why life in the system is so thoroughly permeated with hypocrisy and lies: government by bureaucracy is called popular government; the working class is en- slaved in the name of the work ing class; the complete degradation of the individual is presented as his ultimate liberation; depriving people of in formation is called making it available; the use of power to manipulate is called the public control of power, and the arbi- trary abuse of power is called observing the legal code; the repres- sion of culture is called its development; the expansion of imperial influence is presented as support for the oppressed; the lack of free expression becomes the highest form of freedom; farcical elec- tions become the highest form of democracy; banning independent thought becomes the most scientific of world views; military occu- pation becomes fraternal assistance.
This question can only be answered by first looking at the wider implications of how the legal code functions in the post-totalitarian system.
A dictatorship has no reason to hide its foundations, nor to conceal the real workings of power, and there- fore it need not encumber itself to any great extent with a legal code.
In a narrower sense the legal code serves the posttotalitarian system in this direct way as well, that is, it too forms a part of the world of regulations and prohibitions.
Like ideology, the legal code functions as an excuse.
