All over the globe, movements of the oppressed are regularly running into the obstacles of the police, the courts, and even the armed forces. The state stands as the armed last line of defence for the status quo, and therefore the question of the state and our approach to it as revolutionaries and as marxists is a question that all communists must closely study.

It is for this reason that we're starting off our series on the Fundamental Ideas of Lenin with an interview with Marco La Grotta, a leading comrade in the Revolutionary Communist Party here in Canada, on Lenin's State and Revolution, his classic and perhaps most famous contribution to marxist theory, applying Lenin's insights to the world and to the struggles surrounding us today.
