In the short intervening period he spent in Finland, he wrote his impassioned, never-completed masterwork The State and Revolution. This powerfully argued book offers both the rationale for the new regime and a wealth of insights into Leninist politics. It was here that Lenin justified his personal interpretation of Marxism, savaged his opponents and set out his trenchant views on class conflict, the lessons of earlier revolutions, the dismantling of the bourgeois state and the replacement of capitalism by the dictatorship of the proletariat. As both historical document and political statement, its importance can hardly be exaggerated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTranslated and edited with an introduction by Robert Service","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48128385515678,"sku":"UBD-9780140184358","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780140184358.jpg?v=1786539843","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780140184358","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
