Anarchism and the State

The crisis of capitalism and the role of the Monarchy

Details Alan Woods logo 06 Sep 2019

The Monarchy calls itself a neutral observor, but this illusion was shattered when Johnson used the Queen to force through his programme. This casts light on the real role of the Monarchy, a reserve of reaction. We say abolish this feudal relic!

Capitalism, the state, and the 'revolving door'

Details Khaled Labidi, Cambridge Marxists logo 10 Apr 2019

Under capitalism, the ruling class maintains its privileges and power through a bureaucratic state apparatus, in which members of the rich elite move freely between government and big business. We must put an end to this 'revolving door'.

The role of the state and social democracy

Details Alan Woods logo 21 Sep 2017

This month marks the 100th anniversary of the writing of Lenin’s great work The State and Revolution, written in the midst of the Russian Revolution to prepare the working class for taking power. To mark this important anniversary we reproduce here key extracts from an introduction of a new edition of this pamphlet, written by Alan Woods.

Marxism or anarchism? - part four

Details Alan Woods logo 21 Aug 2017

We publish here the fourth part in a series by Alan Woods looking at the theoretical differences between Marxism and anarchism. In this fourth and final part, Alan discusses the question of revolutionary violence and looks at the inspiring example of the Russian Revolution as historical proof of the need for a workers' state.

Marxism or anarchism? - part three

Details Alan Woods logo 14 Aug 2017

We publish here the third part in a series by Alan Woods looking at the theoretical differences between Marxism and anarchism. In this part, Alan discusses the role of the state within class society and examines the historical limitations of anarchism and spontaneity, as shown by the Spanish Revolution and Egyptian Revolution respectively.
