Over burgerlijke immoraliteit

---

Abstract

On civil immorality - The concept of ’civil immorality’ which is introduced in this short marginal note, indicates that the establishment in a society legitimizes unlawful actions by the defence of the organizational system that is under their control. Civil immorality exists as a contradiction in terms which is made possible by the existence in society of a privileged group of decision makers, who apparently act in favour of a social structure in which they manifestly hold power. The defence of the social structure can be seen as an expression of their bourgeois mentality, but the use of illicit means places this defence within the framework of immorality.
