Law is the UI for political power, and not inherently for justice. If you want justice, you have to apply political leverage to steer power in its direction.

Law is the UI for political power, and not inherently for justice. If you want justice, you have to apply political leverage to steer power in its direction. Law is also the UI for political self-interest. Unfortunately the same leverage principle applies. Which is why it's almost impossible to get real justice - including tax justice - in a plutocracy. The scales are tilted too heavily in the opposite direction. The answer is to balance plutocracy with effective political organisation, but that's an incredibly hard problem to solve at all, never mind peacefully.
