@TalesOTLevant In Marx’s ‘higher stage’ of communist the state is supposed to wither away. This, as far as I know, has never actually happened. In terms of the ‘lower stage’ of communism there is a ‘dictatorship of the proletariat.’
@TalesOTLevant I’m not sure about that. The NT id apocalyptic. The early church didn’t believe in politics, only the kingdom of heaven. Marxism is very much about material power.
