Workers' State theory

Workers’ State theory posits that a genuinely socialist society is a state where the working class holds political power, managing resources and decision-making directly, rather than private owners or elites. This state represents workers’ interests, aiming to transition towards a classless, egalitarian society. It emphasizes that such a state is a temporary, necessary phase—serving as a tool to dismantle capitalism and build socialism, before gradually withering away into a stateless society. The theory underscores the importance of workers' control and democratic participation to ensure the future of social and economic equality.
