The State and Revolution by Vladimir Lenin was published in 1917. Lenin's definition of the State is “a special organisation of force: it is an organisation of violence for the suppression of a class." Quoting Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx, Lenin investigates theoretical questions about the role and functions of the State in society after the proletarian revolution. He addresses the arguments of anarchists, reformists and social democrats, claiming that a social democratic system cannot establish the dictatorship of the proletariat.

The State & Revolution stands as one of the most powerful and unsettling political works ever written. Composed in the charged atmosphere of 1917, it cuts straight to the heart of what a state truly is beneath its flags, ceremonies, and promises.

Among the leaders of the 20th century, arguably none shaped the course of history as much as Vladimir Lenin.

Along with Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotsky led the October Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 and held crucial posts in the early Soviet governments.
