Abstract
This book concerns itself with Marx’s theory of the State, the bureaucracy and the political system.1 My purpose is to make explicit and discuss the political theory that is merely implicit in Marx’s works, focusing on his political analysis rather than on his all-too-familiar general statements — indeed, it is one of the purposes of this book to explore some of the tensions between his empirical analysis and those generalisations.
