State and Revolution was a pamphlet written by Vladimir Lenin in August - September, 1917. It describes the proletarian revolution with a major focus on the role of the State. Lenin spends much of the pamphlet explaining the differences between Anarchists and Communists and refuting the arguments of petty bourgeoisie opportunists. He also argues for the necessity of maintaining the State during the dictatorship of the proletariat. He claimed Marx's first mature work was The Poverty of Philosophy (1847).
