The State & Revolution

In The State & Revolution, Lenin delivers a striking examination of the state's true nature amid the revolutionary fervor of 1917. He argues that the modern state functions primarily to uphold the power of the privileged, rather than protect all citizens equally. Presenting a compelling critique of political institutions, Lenin contends that genuine democracy necessitates a radical reconstruction of political systems and that revolutions arise from deep-seated social tensions. With its themes echoing in today’s political climate, this work encourages listeners to reflect on the role of government and envision a society where ordinary individuals wield true influence over their future.
