Om een idee te krijgen van de ideeën van het marxisme over de staat, zie Stuurman, Milliband, Poulantzas, etc... Marx zelve heeft daar weinig over geschreven.
Betreffende de houding van anarchisten inzake analyse over de staat: "Empire" van Negri heeft aangetoond dat ze echt wel fout zitten. Genoeg discussies te vinden via google of ik kan eens een themanummer uploaden van Rethinking Marxism over Empire.
Toeval wil ook dat ik zopas analyse van Zizek over Lenin & vrijheidsconcept heb geüploaded, zie thread "academische teksten".

Ik heb die tekst van Zizek net eens gelezen.
"[FONT=RealpageTIM11][SIZE=2]What a true Leninist and a political conservative have in common is the fact that they reject what one could call liberal Leftist “irresponsibility”:
advocating grand projects of solidarity, freedom, and so on, yet ducking out when one has to pay the price for it in the guise of concrete and often “cruel” political
measures. Like an authentic conservative, a true Leninist is not afraid to pass to the act, to assume all of the consequences, unpleasant as they may be, of realizing his political project. Rudyard Kipling (whom Brecht admired) despised British liberals who advocated freedom and justice while silently counting on the Conservatives to do the necessary dirty work for them; and the same can be said for the liberal Leftist’s
(or “democratic Socialist’s”) relationship to Leninist Communists. Liberal Leftists reject the Social Democratic “compromise”; they want a true revolution. Yet they
shirk the actual price to be paid for it. They prefer to adopt the attitude of a Beautiful Soul and to keep their hands clean. In contrast to this false radical Leftist’s position (that wants true democracy for the people, but without the secret police to fight counterrevolution
and without their academic privileges being threatened), a Leninist, like a Conservative, is authentic in the sense of assuming the consequences of his choice—
that is, being fully aware of what it actually means to take power and to exert it."
Tja, ik ben blij dat ik niet aan de kant van de conservatieven en Rudyard Kipling sta.
En volgens mij heb je enkel "secret police" nodig om contrarevoluties te voorkomen, als je gehaat wordt door de meerderheid van de bevolking.
