ha procedido en forma contraria a su propia finalidad; ha destruido su propia meta; se ha aplicado a aniquilar aquella justicia que debía hacer reinar, a anular, entre los derechos, aquellos límites que era su misión hacer respetar; ha puesto la fuerza colectiva al servicio de quienes quieran explotar, sin riesgo y sin escrúpulos, la persona, la libertad o la propiedad ajenas; ha convertido la expoliación, para protegerla, en derecho y la legítima defensa en crimen, para castigarla. ¿Cómo se ha llevado a cabo semejante perversión de la ley? ¿Cuáles son sus consecuencias?
