On a very special episode, the Midwest Socialist crew is joined by Jake Flores of Pod Damn America and professor Ann Robertson from DSA SF and Red Star SF to discuss the Vladimir Lenin's seminal text 'State and Revolution.' Considered by many as one of the most important texts in leftist literature, 'State and Revolution' poses challenging considerations on how Marxists should think of the role of a socialist government, the withering away of the state, and the crucial need for a proper analysis of capitalism in order for a successful revolution.
