Knowing this shit about America's government, State and Revolution made sense straight away the first time I read it, because plainly, America's government doesn't do anything except resolve class contradictions. It doesn't regulate, it doesn't guarantee any sort of minimum basis for human life, it only serves the bourgeoisie, it doesn't even attempt to hold up any sort of facade to the contrary.
