Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Developing themes of his earlier work, the author here advances a critique of contemporary Marxist theories of the state, arguing against a general theory of state, and identifying forms of class power crucial to socialist strategy that goes beyond the apparatus of the state.
Traducción de: L'état, le pouvoir, le socialisme.
