State and Revolution chapter 5 – “The Economic Basis of the Withering Away of the State”
This chapter is magnificent, in my estimation, and the core of this work by Lenin. The Chapter, and arguably the book itself (since this is its core) is a restatement of a crucial work by Marx, which was never published until after Marx’s death (the Critique of the Gotha Programme – published in 1891, whereas Marx died in 1883).
