Books like The State and Revolution

If you happen to get the version which has a forward by Richard Pipes, I strongly suggest reading the text of Vladimir Lenin first, maybe Google or Wikipedia some of the historical references, and draw your own conclusion. Richard Pipes is your classical establishment propaganda clerk who's job is to 'help' you see the text the way the State wants you to, that is, defanged of its revolutionary message.Pipes slides in his prejudice hidden by historical facts, intent on having you view this remarkable man dismissively as a rebel. Lenin clearly shows that in order to bring about change we need a violent revolution of the working people (proletariat) against the slave owners (bourgeois) Lenin, who draws from Karl Marx and Fredric Engels shows the 'State' for what it is. A parasitic institution created by an oppressing class against its enemy -- the 99% -- You and I, the working class. He explains why it is inevitable that this class conflict will lead to revolution. And looking at current events as well as historical ones, the facts are undeniable. He also shows the many ways the State tries to disable this prophetic voice, not unlike the forward by richard pipes talked about previously.Karl Marx was every bit an objective scientist, but truth is not wanted by those who lie! Viva la revolution!
