Quote:Point is just telling people they only can vote for one person or is not much different than letting them choose between two persons (giving them the idee they have something to say) who both basically work for the rich class.
This is the Marxist perspective of the state in a nutshell!
I always found it funny that critics of either Marxian perspectives in general, or more specifically of political parties that called themselves "Marxist" complained of a so-called 1-party State; when the 2-party system is virtually the same thing. The only difference is that in a 1-party state, the ruling party is the ruling class, while in the latter the multiple parties are the management committee for organizing and protecting the affairs of the ruling class; their representatives so to say. But the two party system is more effective in that its easy to put forth the illusion of choice, while simultaneously demonizing 1-party states as being "undemocratic". But at the end of the day, they both serve the same purpose and the result is the same - the ruling capitalist class maintains its power and position within society, the working class and poor remains exploited and oppressed.
