This book deals with a topic that is central to the most important
and decisive issues and events of our time-the state and revolution
in the twentieth century. Social scientists have made numerous
attempts to understand the causes of revolutions by examining the
underlying factors that contribute to revolutionary uprisings. To
further these efforts, this book addresses some of the key issues
related to this process through both theoretical and empirical
inquiry into the nature and dynamics of the state and revolution as
a basis for an understanding of the major socialist revolutions of
the twentieth century. The book provides a comparative-historical
analysis of the state and socialist revolutions in Russia, China,
Vietnam, Cuba, and Nicaragua. The thread that runs through each of
the chapters that make up this book, especially the case studies of
revolutions taken up for study, is the class nature of the state
and the class forces involved in the revolutionary process leading
up to the taking of state power, as well as-and more importantly
so- the class nature of the forces that have taken power and rule
over society in the post-revolutionary period. Applying class
analysis to the study of the state and revolution, this book helps
us understand the nature and dynamics of class struggles in
societies that have gone through a revolutionary process.
