Building on the discussions of the State in Chapter Two and Three, Lenin further interrogates the relationship of the State with socialist revolution. Unlike previous chapters, Lenin decides to draw from Engels rather than Marx for a variety of topics regarding the State, such as how to house workers under a dictatorship of the proletariat and how Anarchism differs from Marxism. We have decided to split this chapter into two halves given this is the longest chapter in State and Revolution. Stay tuned for part 2!

After some necessary detours to learn about the Paris Commune and, um, the Gucci family, Jamie and Jorge return to State and Rev for a deep dive on Chapter 3. Drawing from the experience of the Paris Commune, Lenin explains the necessity of smashing the bourgeois state machinery and replacing it with a "dictatorship of the proletariat," a.k.a. the proletariat organized as the ruling class. What does this mean? What does it look like? Can the state really just wither away? J+J discuss.
