Description
Excerpt: THE question of the state is now acquiring particular importance both in theory and in practical politics. The imperialist war has immensely accelerated and intensified the process of transformation of monopoly capitalism into state?monopoly capitalism. The monstrous oppression of the toiling masses by the state, which is merging more and more with the all?powerful capitalist associations, is becoming ever more monstrous. The advanced countries are being converted ? we speak here of their ?rear? ? into military convict prisons for the workers.
