Episode 10.2: The State and Revolution

The Second of our MEGA-EPISODE #10. This week I move onto the next section of Lenin's The State and Revolution. I discuss the Withering Away of the State, and how this concept has been distorted from it's original meaning, and finish the episode discussing Lenin's take on the necessity of violence in the revolution. This episode includes a lot of analysis, so we moved fairly slowly through the chapter, but there's some great content and very important concepts included in this section.

There were several concepts that took me a while to grass in this section, so I found some great supplementary reading by @autokratorissa (twitter) that I've included in this episode's shownotes.
