      harold-manic jesus fucking christ

      what is the point of a federal government if not to set regulations and minimums like that (obviously the purpose of the US federal governemnt is to serve the bourgeoisie, but goddamn how does it get away with being so much more mask off than all the other bourgeois states)

        Knowing this shit about America’s government, State and Revolution made sense straight away the first time I read it, because plainly, America’s government doesn’t do anything except resolve class contradictions. It doesn’t regulate, it doesn’t guarantee any sort of minimum basis for human life, it only serves the bourgeoisie, it doesn’t even attempt to hold up any sort of facade to the contrary.
