"In reality, the state is nothing but a machine for the sup-
pression of one class by another. Dictatorship is rule based

directly on force and unrestricted by any laws. The revo-
lutionary dictatorship of the proletariat is RULE WON
AND MAINTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF
VIOLENCE BY THE PROLETARIAT AGAINST
THE BOURGEOISIE, RULE THAT IS UNRE-

STRICTED BY ANY LAWS." 22

"THE PHENOMENON IN WHICH WE ARE INTER-

ESTED IS THE ARMED STRUGGLE. It is conduct-
ed by individuals and by small groups. Some belong to
revolutionary organizations, while others (the
majority in certain parts of Russia) do not belong
to any revolutionary organization. Armed struggle
pursues two different aims, which must be strictly dis-
tinguished: IN THE FIRST PLACE, THIS

STRUGGLE AIMS AT ASSASSINATING INDI-
VIDUALS, CHIEFS AND SUBORDINATES
IN THE ARMY AND POLICE; IN THE
SECOND PLACE, IT AIMS AT THE
CONFISCATION OF MONETARY

FUNDS BOTH FROM THE GOV-
ERNMENT AND FROM PRI-
VATE PERSONS." 23
