State and Revolution
VLADIMIR LENIN
The book theorizes about the role of the state as a tool for class oppression and argues for the necessity of a proletarian revolution to dismantle the bourgeois state apparatus, replacing it with a dictatorship of the proletariat to establish socialism and eventually, a stateless, classless communist society. It critically analyzes the works of Marx and Engels on the state, while addressing the practical aspects of seizing power and the eventual withering away of the state.
