"State and Revolution" (1917) describes the role of the State in
society, the necessity of proletarian revolution, and the theoretical
inadequacies of social democracy in achieving revolution. It represents
the inherent nature of the State as a tool for class oppression, a
creation born of one social class's desire to control all other social
classes. Whether a dictatorship or a democracy, the State remains in the
ruling class's control. Even in a democratic capitalist republic, the
ruling class will never willingly relinquish political power,
maintaining it via various strategies. Hence, according to this view,
the communist revolution is the sole remedy for the abolition of the
state.
