The State is Counter-Revolutionary (Part 1)

This video is the first in a four part series in which I will inspect how the state has been a force of sabotage in the revolutionary process. In part 1, I inspect the theoretical foundations that have allowed this praxis to flourish and lay out the theoretical principles that explain why these projects failed to produce worker control of the economy. Help me pay the bills and eat so that I can produce more videos and more often!
