خلاصة:
Marx, one of the great philosophers of history, believes that the state is a temporary matter arising from classes, which will eventually no longer be necessary, and with the downfall of capitalism, a new historical era for humanity will begin. This article addresses the end of the state after the fall of capitalism and examines it in two parts: the dictatorship of the proletariat and the period following it. It shows that in both stages, the status of the state is completely different from what we have in mind today, as in the first, we face a very strong state, and in the second, a very small state. Finally, the relationship between these two and democracy, one of the most important components of the modern state, is examined.

The Fate of the State in Marx's Thought Mohammad Emami* Associate Professor, Department of Law, Shiraz University Fardin Moradkhani Master of Public Law, Shiraz University (Received date: 13/9/85 - Approval date: 14/12/85) Abstract: Marx, one of the great philosophers of history, believes that the state is a temporary matter arising from classes, which will eventually no longer be necessary, and with the collapse of capitalism, a new historical era for humanity will begin.
However, reaching the ideal society requires a long time; for this reason, Marx writes in the Critique of the Gotha Program: "Between capitalist and communist society there lies a period of political transition during which the state can be nothing but the dictatorship of the proletariat" (Lenin, n.
As a final point, it must be said that even in the dictatorship of the proletariat, Marx did not abandon his primary view regarding the state (meaning the dependence of the state on classes), because even then, the state is merely a tool in the hands of the ruling class to achieve its lofty goals, and moreover, this is a temporary matter.
However, Marx has mentioned ten actions of the dictatorship of the proletariat in the Manifesto: expropriation of land, progressive income tax, abolition of the right of inheritance, confiscation of the property of all emigrants, centralization of credit in the hands of the state by means of a national bank, centralization of communication for all, equalization of labor for all, coordination of agriculture and industry to gradually abolish the distinction between town and country, and free public education for all children.
