State and Revolution - State and Revolution

Japanese: 国家と革命 - こっかとかくめい(英語表記)Государство и революция/Gosudarstvo i revolyutsiya
State and Revolution - State and Revolution

Written by Lenin. A classic work on Marxist theory of the state. Written in August and September 1917, in the midst of the Russian Revolution. Chapter 7 is incomplete. It is a detailed examination and development of Marx and Engels' theory of the state. It was written to criticize Kautsky and Plekhanov, who approved of their country's war efforts under the pretext of defending the fatherland. Lenin argues that the state is nothing more than an institution for the ruling class to oppress the dominated classes, which arose along with class conflict, that in order to realize socialism, the bourgeois state must be violently smashed and the class dictatorship of the proletariat must be established, that the form of the socialist state is a commune-type state, under which democracy will develop further, bureaucracy will be overcome, and ethnic conflicts will disappear, and that the state will die out of its own accord with the transition to communism. There is a preparatory note for this work called "Notes on the State."

Japanese:

レーニン著。マルクス主義国家論の古典的著作。ロシア革命のさなか、1917年8月から9月にかけて執筆された。第7章は未完。マルクス、エンゲルスの国家論を詳細に検討し、発展させたもの。祖国擁護を口実にして自国の戦争遂行を是認するカウツキーやプレハーノフらを批判するために執筆された。レーニンは、国家とは階級対立とともに発生した支配階級の被支配階級抑圧のための機関にほかならないこと、社会主義の実現のためには、ブルジョア階級の国家を暴力的に粉砕し、プロレタリアートの階級的独裁を樹立しなければならないこと、社会主義の国家形態はコミューン型国家であり、そのもとで民主主義はいっそう発展し、官僚制も克服され、民族的対立もなくなること、共産主義への移行とともに、国家はひとりでに死滅するであろうことを主張。この著作の準備ノートとして『国家論ノート』がある。
