Abstract
This paper is an attempt at a reasoned critique of the Marxist theory of the ontology of the state as an entity, and includes his views on economics, the idea of revolution, and a critique of capitalism that were an integral part of his understanding of the workings of a state machinery when he devised his theory. The paper is largely descriptive, and analyses the aforementioned concepts in the light of their intended meaning by Marx, and how they manifest in his thought.
