Title: Top-Shelf Marxist Literature
Review: What is the state? What is its relation to the proletariat? What did Marx and Engels actually say about the state? What will the state look like after the revolution?I loved this book. It was easily approached, well organized and easy to walk away from with clarity, after only one reading. That is not always a given with Marxist literature.If you have read Marx and Engels or even just some introduction material on Marxism, this book might help you fill in the gaps around the role of the state, which is always a tricky subject when facing a population fixated on Stalin.If you, like me, always seem to find yourself in debates with anarchists, this book will help you understand the subtleties of the Anarchist vs. Marxist rift. It was worth its weight in gold for that alone. Unfortunately though, at only 100 pages, it wasn't very heavy.
