, State and Revolution
If you haven’t read State and Revolution, I recommend you do so at your earliest opportunity. It’s one of the best pieces of theory and written with such passion. A joy to read, tbh.
Anyway, as others have posted, but also the US is a bourgeois state and is structured for the purpose of reinforcing bourgeois rule. Anything that could be called communist that rose within its borders would be so fundamentally different that the United States of America would be dead: its corpse fertilizing the soil for something good to grow in its place.
That's a really good quote. Is State and Revolution an easy read? I'm a dumber communist because I get demotivated easily with reading material.
It’s easier than Capital for sure. Lenin was a very captivating writer, IMO. State and Rev and What is to be Done? are bangers. I’m not as well read as I would like to be, but i highly recommend those two. You’ll come out the other side shit talking Kautsky for sure.
