Summary/Abstract: The intention of the author is show the role and importance of law in achieving a Communist Utopia. Marxist philosophy advocates the abolition of constraint assumptions of the state, and thus, also legal or legally coerced nihilism. The proletarian revolution provided the only effective method to achieve order, which was Communism. In socio-political practice, as social critics believe, no law has yet proven to be a decisive factor in determining that communism remained a utopian idea which never fails to deliver. In reality communism possesses a negative utopian nature. Paradoxically the purpose of Communism was to use nihilism to achieve the instrumentalisation of legal order. Actually the Bolsheviks in the Russian revolution showed by example something else, the way from nihilism to its instrumentalisation of law is self-destructing.
