Marx and Engels presented an analytical approach to the class struggle and the problems of capitalism in the book, The Communist Manifesto. The book also contains their ideas for how the capitalist society of the time would be replaced by socialism, and then eventually communism. However, the book is lack of detailed potential future forms of communism. It is Lenin who took the theories of The Communist Manifest to the next level for delivery and implementation of a truly socialistic country. The State and Revolution is one of the most important books written by Lenin to lay out a theoretical foundation for building a socialistic country.

Lenin wrote The State and Revolution in August and September of 1917 and detailed the Marxist attitude to the state in the book, when he was in hiding from persecution of the Provisional Government.

The State and Revolution enriches and materialize Communist Manifest and is a must-read book for people to understand the nature of a socialistic country.
