State and Revolution

“While the State exists, there can be no freedom. When there is freedom there will be no State.” ✯ Enjoy this high-quality edition from the Affordable Classics series. ✯ Shortly before the Soviet revolution of 1917, Lenin wrote State and Revolution . Drawing on detailed quotes from Karl Marx and Friedrick Engels, he lays down a Marxist view of the state, describes how a working-class revolution will overthrow it, and goes further in showing how social democracy is not enough – even in democratic republics such as those enjoyed by many western countries today, the ruling class is still in control of society, and will never relinquish power. According to Lenin, a Communist revolution is the only remedy for class struggle. —- ISBN: 9781795754613 | ISBN10: 1795754613 | ISBN-13: 978-1795754613
