Lots to work through these days. I wanted to return a bit to Ralph Miliband so I've made two selections. The first is Miliband working through Marx's interpretation of the state, and the second, is a critical appreciation of Lenin's work The State & Revolution. As you will find the popular understanding of both these works is often misunderstood on both the hardcore revolution or nothing side & those who think an incrementalist approach to change is possible. - David Griscom 

What we are reading: 

Marx and the State - Ralph Miliband, 1965

Lenin’s The State and Revolution - Ralph Miliband, 1970

Do comment. I’ve been prone to site Lenin’s work to refute bromides from the right that any govt. program will lead to the incrementalism slide to communism. IE, Lenin belied that evolution as opposed to revolution was a dead end. Did I get that wrong?
