Karl Marx on State (Polity) - Dictionary of Arguments

Mause I 49/50
State/MarxVsHegel/Marx: Hegel's state seems incapable of asserting its claimed primacy of politics over the economy; it is a powerless idealization and doubling of its real counterpart in social reality, which due to its actual dependence on bourgeois society does not offer an emancipatory perspective in the sense of the republican project that goes beyond the implementation of this social formation. (1)
The "political state" (2), which historically helped the "bourgeois society" (3) to assert itself, is the mere guarantor of this atomistic society of the selfish bourgeois pursuing its private interests, whose rights it protects in the form of liberal fundamental and human rights (4).
