@Dolphínus Are you looking for an English translation of the Latin word "sue" or a Latin translation of the English word "sue"? I assume you mean the latter.
@cmw I mean socialist to the connotations of saying that "Loan defaults carried severe penalties, as their borrowers could be enslaved, mutilated, or sued.[68]" means that the rich wrote it. Which are clearly socialist.
@Dolphínus First, the rich wrote the laws in ancient Rome. This is indisputable. Early Rome was heavily based on class, and the patricians, who held the law-making power in early Rome, held the wealth. This isn't socialist, it's simple Roman history.
Do you think the Succession of the Plebs in the early 5th century BCE was influenced by Marx?
@cmw I never say that the facts of roman history are socialist or whatever you think. I sad the the way in which you speaked the facts has socialist connotations.
@JoonasIlmavirta I never say anything of that, I just said that the tone of the narration of the facts feels like is saying that the law is evil and therefore demostrates that the rich wrote the law.
@Dolphínus I just quoted from the Wikipedia article. Sue in this case likely means the same as it does in modern US law: filing a lawsuit against another party.
