Description
Complete edition of State and Revolution by Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. Written just before the October revolution, read Lenin's own voice, hear his view of Marx and Engels, and know how his passion shaped Russia for 100 years. Insightful for all time.
"Democracy for an insignificant minority, democracy for the rich - that is the democracy of capitalist society."
"The monstrous oppression of the working people by the state, which is merging more and more with the all-powerful capitalist associations, is becoming increasingly monstrous."
"Now the question is put somewhat differently: the transition from capitalist society - which is developing towards communism - to communist society is impossible without a 'political transition period', and the state in this period can only be the revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat."
All students of thought should get this historic book. This 1917 edition is provided in a slim volume with full text at an affordable price.

Person
Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (1870 - 1924), better known by his alias Lenin, was a Russian revolutionary, politician, and political theorist. He served as the head of government of Soviet Russia from 1917 to 1924 and of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1924. Under his administration, Russia, and later the Soviet Union, became a one-party Marxist-Leninist state governed by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Ideologically a Marxist, he developed a variant of it known as Leninism.
