You should really give The State and Revolution a read. It’s not, “make a state and dismantle it later” it’s, “we should construct a state that eventually makes itself unneeded and whithers away”. The state is first and foremost an organ of class oppression. It exist for the purpose of exerting the authority of one class over the other, it is a dictatorship of that class. A bourgeois state seeks to maintain the existance of class but mitigate its contradictions as long as possible while a proletarian state seeks the elimination of class entirely, making that state itself a tool without a use. The actual execution of this is obviously very difficult but the elimination of a state without first the elimination of class is begging for a bourgeois counter revolution. You would be shooting yourself in the foot to attempt this. So, should we do nothing because doing anything is risky? Or should we die like dogs?
Let’s make a state to dismantle it later! bourgeoisie rubs hands together
