Work with the NEU
What’s the meaning of ‘revolution’?
Beyond a riot, revolt or rebellion lies a revolution – a fundamental change in who runs society for what purpose, explains the MARX MEMORIAL LIBRARY
What distinguishes Marxism from social democracy is the recognition that only through sustained struggle can the working class win political and state power

REVOLUTION means the transfer of state power from one class to another.

Apart from the earliest “primitive” pre-feudal communities, all class societies, everywhere, throughout recorded history, have a state, defined as the structures and institutions of governance, law and administration.

The state is often presented as the “honest broker” of society, the guarantor of social stability and “freedom,” working in the interests of “the many.”
