Excellent Careful Exposition

The is a fine examination of the capitalist state, capitalist democracy, which is not democracy but capitalism dangling the possibility for democracy to working people, the middle class, and poor people, depending on the levels of class antagonism. In sum, the government, all current capitalist democracies, is an executive committee and armed weapon of the rich. How this works is examined by AS with considerable care. Coupled with Moore's "Critique of the Capitalist State," aka "Critique of Capitalist Democracy," and Lenin's "State and Revolution," and Engels, "The Origins of the Family, Private Property and the State," and Marx of course, and a reader will come away with a good grasp of what is up, and what to do.
