Book Description

London, England, U.K: Verso Editions, 1980. Trade Paperback. Very Good. This book uses the formal categories of modern systems analysis to advance a substantive Marxist analysis of State power and Stae apparatuses; its object is to construct a systematic typology of the differences between the feudal state, the capitalist state, and the socialist state; it ranges from the monarchies of medieval Europe through the bourgeois democracies of the West to the communist regimes in Russia, Eastern Europe, and China; it ends with an analytic survey of the strategies of working class parties for socialism, from the Second International to the Comintern to Eurocommunism (slight edgewear, pages slightly yellowed, otherwise a bright, clean, tight copy)
