Of Marx and Engels, Lenin put forward the theory of the state in the book “State and Revolution” in 1932. Lenin argued that the state is a form of embodiment of class antagonisms can not be united or irreconcilable. Therefore, the power of the state should be abolished by the revolution. Compromise and solutions reformers considered incapable of solving the class antagonisms (Chilcote, 2010: 259).
The proletariat is a duty to carry out the struggle against state power and its instruments. Then, next power should be hold by the proletariat. The means of production then transformed from private property into state ownership. The transition of power has led government capitalism to a dictatorship of the proletariat. Bourgeois democracy turns into a democracy of the proletariat.

State functions ultimately submitted to the community until there is no longer a need for this kind of power. After the development of the production reached the highest level, where class is no longer needed. Similarly, the state should also be abolished. State is replaced by the control of the whole community. People will voluntarily work according to ability and receive according to their needs (Chilcote, 2010: 260).
