Publisher's Summary
State and Revolution (1917) describes the role of the state in society, the necessity of proletarian revolution, and the theoretic inadequacies of social democracy in achieving revolution. It describes the inherent nature of the state as a tool for class oppression, a creation born of one social class' desire to control all other social classes. Whether a dictatorship or a democracy, the state remains in the control of the ruling class. 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, communist revolution is the sole remedy for the abolition of the state.

Very relevant in today's times with uprisings happening all over the globe
Recommended to everyone whatever your political leanings are. Outside of personal thoughts on Lenin and the Bolsheviks the book is about revolution which is on more and more people's minds nowadays. Go into it with an open mind and come to your own conclusions

Clears some things up
Good but an unnecessary amount of time is spent berating anarchists while not clearly showing out the flaws in their ideas other, instead defeating flimsy strawmen
