Ep 3.9 - The State and Revolution, Chapter Four (Part 1) (Patreon)

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!
