What is now left of Marxism on the withering away of the State and Law?
Keywords:
Marxism, Marx, Engels, Lenin, Withering Away of State and LawAbstract
One of the areas that attracted publicity to Marxist theory was its general principles on the notion of the withering away of the State and Law yet scarcely dealt with in detail by Marx and Engels. Profound ideological, academic and philosophical debates were engaged in the space. Several decades after these debates, it was now necessary to look back at them and see what was left. This work which adopted the doctrinal method shall critically review the philosophies of Marxism on the question of the State and law and determine whether they are still relevant and impactful in modern society and academic studies.
