THE STATE AND REVOLUTION

In "The State and Revolution," Vladimir Lenin examines the nature of the state and its role in revolutionary change. Written in 1917, this critical work revisits Marxist theory to argue that the state is a tool of class oppression that must be dismantled and replaced with a dictatorship of the proletariat. Lenin explores historical materialism, critiques bourgeois interpretations of the state, and presents his vision for how the working class should overthrow existing power structures to establish a socialist society. This foundational text is essential for understanding Lenin’s revolutionary theory and the Marxist perspective on state power and class struggle.
