Workers' and Peasants' State

A Workers' and Peasants' State refers to a government that aims to represent and empower the working class and agricultural laborers. This concept emerged in Marxist theory, particularly after revolutions like the Russian Revolution of 1917. Such states prioritize the needs and rights of workers and peasants over capitalist interests, promoting policies like state ownership of resources and industries. The goal is to create an egalitarian society where wealth and power are distributed more fairly, often through centralized planning and control of the economy. These states typically reject traditional capitalist frameworks, advocating for socialism or communism.
