This is our intro to the state: https://libcom.org/library/state-introduction
at the bottom there is some further reading with hyperlinks, copied here:
More information
• Private property, exclusion and the state -Junge Linke - Brief article examining the role the state plays in capitalist society.
• The state: Its historical role - Peter Kropotkin - A classic anarchist test examining the state's role in society.
• The state in capitalist society - Ralph Miliband - Excellent book analysing the nature of the state and how it cannot be used in workers' interests (not online unfortunately).
• Capital and the state - Gilles Dauvé - More detailed libertarian communist analysis of the state.
• Marxism, freedom and the state - Mikhail Bakunin - A collection of writings of the Russian anarchist with comments on the state which were sadly proved accurate with the experiences of state socialist revolutions.
• The Bolsheviks and workers' control -Solidarity - A detailed examination of the anti-working class policies of the Bolsheviks in the earliest days of the Russian revolution.
• Labouring in vain -Subversion - A critical history of the Labour Party from a working-class perspective.
We would like to have a State reading guide (like this one: https://libcom.org/library/france-1968-reading-guide), so if anyone would like to compile all these links into a guide for our reading guides section we would really appreciate it!
