The reader is encouraged to read these 70 year old quotes very carefully. And attempt to read in-between the lines:
"... slanderous declarations are often given the green light..."
"The proofs of guilt were relative, approximate, and the interrogator could find them, even when there was no evidence and no witness, without leaving office, basing his conclusions not only on his own intellect but also on his sensitivity, his moral forces and on his 'character' (i.e. his willingness to apply cruelty!)"
"...we omitted saying that the very concept of guilt had been repealed by the revolution .... So we can't even discuss these out-of-date concepts, guilt and innocence."
"As we begin to understand our judicial practices, we realize now that the public trials were only the surface indications of the mole's tunnel, and all the main digging lay beneath the surface."
"A person who is not inwardly prepared for the use of violence against him / her is always weaker than the person committing the violence."
The above quotes refer to a cruelty imposed by a Narcissistic Paradigm. When this paradigm is left unchecked, when it is left to its own devices, it will explode to immense destruction. Like an alcoholic left alone in a bar, it will self-feed the addiction. Like alcoholics left in charge of regulating liquor industry, they will create a self-protecting system to get unlimited supply of their addictive feed! Similarly, a Narcissistic Paradigm within its own Paradigm Blindness will create a system, Narcissistic Pyramid, in which it can get unlimited narcissistic supply through persecution. And it will systemically protect itself while hiding and portraying itself as good.
The above quotes are very true about the current family court system. It operates within the same paradigm and that is why we believe the most effective way to navigate it is written in the Best Advice for Victims of Abuse Fighting in a Legal System article.
The above quotes are from the Solzhenitsyn's book Gulag Archipelago. The atrocities committed in labor camps, where millions died, operate from the same Narcissistic Paradigm as family law system. Labor camps and family legal system, the two systems operate with the same motive and have the same behaviors. There is a persecutory motive and a need to hide. All attacks on a target victim, in a family legal system, are to create persecution and punishment which feeds the narcissistic supply, and thus the addiction. If the target person learns (Heals) not to give such supply, it invalidates those within the Narcissistic Paradigm, and it will force them to deal with the lack of 'liquor' themselves. It's the only way to address this.
The family law system is a mere symptom of the Narcissistic Pyramid. The pyramid is hungrier and hungrier as it needs more supply. It will not stop at family courts. It will become more cruel, it will expand, and be more destructive.
We MUST HEAL by looking into a mirror to see how we feed it and we MUST UNITE: Codependent Paradigm.
