undefined> he political state, and with it political authority, will disappear as a result of the coming social revolution

I think the history has shown this to be false

White army anyone? Here's a 2 min video for you https://youtu.be/uThpIDlfcBQ

Yes, they were both bad. Enemy of my enemy is not necessary my friend.

I'm pointing out why the state can't just go away

[–] PlasmaK@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So you agree that the premise that the state would just wither away is false?

[–] snoby@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, I'm saying the state can't just wither away if it's necessary to defend against counter-revolutions and imperialism.
