Detailed work on the role of the state during and after revolution.
“It is only with socialism that there will commence a rapid, genuine, real mass advance, in which first the majority and then the whole of the population will take part-an advance of social and individual life.”

This book really taught me more about how Opportunism functions , and how It cleared out any misconceptions I had about the class and the state Dictatorship.
Also , the tearing apart of Kautsky was funny. 😄

Essential read for having a basic Marxist understanding of the relationship of the state and revolution. Had a very clear explanation of the transition from capitalism to communism and how the role of a centralized state is integral to this transitional period.
I specifically appreciated the discussion of how anarchists and social democrats often fail to recognize or even address the role of the state in social revolution.

i'm not a v knowlegeable marxist lol i converted like a little more than a month ago but to read lenin's absolute annihilation of mr kautsky as relief for exam stress is amazing. lenin actually writes with vigor and adds a bit of humor, which compared to marx's bland (but still very very important) writing is so refreshing. thank god i chose this to read first and not some bland economic stuff, but i digress. so essential in my understanding of marxism-leninism and helped a younger centrist me i

For the advanced theory reader. If you can dissect this work you can assume any obstacles with ease in discourse and it’s affairs. Great to read twice, thrice, and many more times as you miss out on a lot the first go through.
