Document Summary
If you read the text, you can get flawless results! Outline: what he says about revolution, what he says about class, what he says about the state /what he says in the 18th brumer, what he says about the gotha program, comments about marxism and marx in general. So it is possible to say that he does not have a theory of politics. The opening line is important: he is saying politic is not autonomous. Remove class conflict, remove the exploitation of one class by another and the state will wither away. He offers 2 different pictures of revolution: objective view: they are the laws of capitalism. Some combination of overproduction, under-consumption and the act of pauperization that lead to revolution: subjective view: he says revolution is to do with insurrection. What matters in the concentration of industry into fewer factories is: that it puts workers together. This is much easier for them to organize and communicate.
