Lenin: The State and Revolution! (5)

The State and Revolution 1917! P5:

They push to the foreground and
extol what is or seems acceptable
to the bourgeoisie.

All the social-chauvinists are now
“Marxists" (don’t laugh!).

And more and more frequently
German bourgeois scholars,

only yesterday specialists
in the annihilation of Marxism,

are speaking of the “national-German" Marx,

who, they claim, educated the labor unions
which are so splendidly organized
for the purpose of waging a predatory war!

In these circumstances,

in view of the unprecedently wide-spread
distortion of Marxism,

our prime task is to re-establish
what Marx really taught
on the subject of the state.

This will necessitate a number of
long quotations from the works of Marx
and Engels themselves.

Of course, Long Quotations will render
the text cumbersome and not help at
all to make it popular reading,

but we cannot possibly dispense with them.

All, or at any rate all the most
essential passages in the works of Marx and Engels

on the subject of the state must
by all means be quoted as fully as possible

so that the reader may form an
independent opinion of the totality

of the views of the founders
of scientific socialism,

and of the evolution of those views,

and so that their distortion by
the “Kautskyism" now prevailing may

be documentarily proved and clearly demonstrated.
