Anarchism and the State

Marxism and anarchism - Part Three

Details Alan Woods logo 17 Jan 2012

In the final part of the series on Marxism and Anarchism, Alan Woods explores the question of the state - one of the main points that has traditionally divided Marxism and anarchism. So just what is the state? Marxism explains that the state is a product and a manifestation of the irreconcilability of class antagonisms in society. It arises where, when, and insofar as class antagonisms cannot be reconciled. Conversely, the very existence of the state proves that the class antagonisms are irreconcilable.

Details Frederick Engels logo 08 Jun 2010
anarchist_sign.jpgAnarchism is a confused political creed. In fact some anarchists take pride in the fact that it is difficult to pin their ideas down almost as a point of principle. But their watchword has always been a struggle against ‘authority.’ Some may find this slogan attractive, but  Engels’ brilliant essay shows that some class always wields authority in society – the question is which one.
