The State and Revolution

The work of V.I. Lenin "The State and Revolution" develops K. Marx's teaching on the state. In this classic text for sociology, Lenin analyzes the economic reasons for the decline of class society and the state.
Lenin offers a historical understanding of democracy. What distinguishes capitalism's democracy from democracy under socialism and why does it disappear with the triumph of communism? Answers to these questions provide an opportunity to understand what kind of society we live in now, and what the social and political situation is at this historical moment.
