State and Revolution

The book explores the State's fundamental role in societal structure, emphasizing its function as an instrument of class oppression. It argues that the State, regardless of being a dictatorship or democracy, serves the interests of the ruling class, which will not voluntarily cede power. The author critiques social democracy for its theoretical shortcomings in achieving true revolution, positing that only a communist revolution can effectively dismantle the State and eliminate class domination. This perspective highlights the necessity of proletarian revolution for societal change.
