    About this audiobook

    Lenin wrote The State and Revolution in August and September 1917, when he was in hiding. When Lenin left Switzerland for Russia in April 1917, he feared arrest by the Provisional Government. The State and Revolution describes the role of the State in society, the necessity of proletarian revolution, and the theoretic inadequacies of social democracy in achieving revolution to establish the dictatorship of the proletariat. Lenin's direct and simple definition of the State is that "the State is a special organisation of force: it is an organisation of violence for the suppression of some class. Lenin declared that the task of the Revolution was to smash the State. Lenin had little to say of the institutional form of this transition period. There was a strong emphasis on the dictatorship of the proletariat.

      The content of the audiobook was great, but the recording was mediocre. The narration was not great to begin with, the reader stumbles over words several times, and it's poorly cut in places.

      Recommend the book, just listen to a different recording.
    • 5/5
      This is a great book to listen to. What could come off the page as repetitive and dry (at times), when read aloud serves to reinforce the most important points. Lenin was a brilliant critic and thinker whose strident confidence in his views coupled with his citations of Marx, Engels, and those whose writings and views he was critiquing, greatly clarifies the means and ends of the socialist/communist/anti capitalist project. If you’re wondering why so many communists and anti capitalists say “true communism has never been achieved,” this will help you understand why. P.S. The end passage is absolutely beautiful.
