After some necessary detours to learn about the Paris Commune and, um, the Gucci family, Jamie and Jorge return to State and Rev for a deep dive on Chapter 3. Drawing from the experience of the Paris Commune, Lenin explains the necessity of smashing the bourgeois state machinery and replacing it with a "dictatorship of the proletariat," a.k.a. the proletariat organized as the ruling class. What does this mean? What does it look like? Can the state really just wither away? J+J discuss.
