He never wrote a book about<br>the state, because it wasn't the center or focus of his analyses. That<br>focus was rather the relationships among people as they go about<br>producing their existence: relationships such as master-slave, lord-serf<br>and employer-employee. In each one of those relationships, a minority of<br>people makes all the key production decisions: masters, lords,<br>employers.

[Peter Jones, The Falling Rate of Profit and the Great Recession of 2007–2009, 2021: xxxv]<br><br>Για τον Μαρξ, η κατώτερη βαθμίδα του κομμουνισμού σηματοδοτεί την //ολοκλήρωση// της σοσιαλιστικής επανάστασης. Είναι το σημείο στο οποίο δεν υπάρχει πλέον αστική τάξη ικανή να αντισταθεί στην δημοκρατική εξουσία, και στην πραγματικότητα δεν υπάρχουν ταξικές διαιρέσεις καθόλου· άρα είναι και το σημείο όπου οι κατασταλτικές λειτουργίες του κράτους καθίστανται περιττές και σταδιακά μαραζώνουν. Έτσι, ενώ τα κομμουνιστικά ή σοσιαλιστικά μέτρα αποτελούν μέρος του «πραγματικού κινήματος που καταργεί την υπάρχουσα κατάσταση πραγμάτων», η κατώτερη βαθμίδα του κομμουνισμού είναι ο πρώτος σταθμός. Εάν πρόκειται να επιτευχθεί αυτή η βαθμίδα, η δημοκρατική διακυβέρνηση και ένα εκδημοκρατισμένο κράτος πρέπει να καταβάλουν συνειδητές προσπάθειες για την πραγματοποίησή της. Αυτό σημαίνει τη σταδιακή υπαγωγή της παραγωγής αξίας σε σχεδιασμένο, δημοκρατικό έλεγχο, με σκοπό την ικανοποίηση των αναγκών. Κατά συνέπεια, η παραγωγή αξίας θα υποχωρεί υπό ένα εργατικό κράτος και θα είναι αμελητέα ή ανύπαρκτη κατά την επίτευξη της κατώτερης βαθμίδας του κομμουνισμού.</span></p>
