From the book "Democratic State "
§ 1
notion of a democratic state
freedom and equality - private property - an abstract free will
a) The first definition of the state, its abstract concept, has a reason and, therefore, the purpose of this resort, but does not address the specific forms of relations between the state with its citizens. It is this abstract concept becomes clear that the realization of freedom and equality - Nasty little things: firstly, we are talking about investigation economic contradictions, and, secondly, the forced saving these contradictions by monopoly power. Even if you do not consider the economy, ie, the mode of production, forced state-backed by the apparatus power, there is no doubt the class character of the democratic state: the way equal subjection of all citizens, it ensures the continued existence all the differences between them - from the smallest to the greatest - and, therefore, leaves no doubt what favor receive from it the various members of the capitalist mode of production. Freedom, which gives them a state by an equal approach to them is to kindly grant the right to compete for a share of public wealth, using their economic resources - to the extent to which they have established, assuming all other citizens, did the same at their expense. For the sake of the freedom they need in the state, without which they did and could not use their own means: From a practical point of view, the state acts for them as a condition of free competition, so they want to be recognized as citizens - they should They are to serve their economic interests. State community, the political will of all citizens of the state, based on stimulated act of free will of every individual citizen who in the pursuit of profit for himself, as a result of forming an abstract general will: "Severability bourgeois society and political state appears necessary as the separation of political citizen, a citizen of the state, from the bourgeois society of their own, genuine, empirical reality, because as a state of the idealist, he is a very different creature , which varies , differs from its reality and its opposite "(Karl Marx," Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Law "). What it means for certain members of the capitalist mode of production, how and for whom the state power serves as a means , is not mystery: the equal subjection of all citizens must provide an advantage to those who have vested advantage in economic terms. So, the next paragraphs show to what binds and that allows the state to various classes of capitalist society, devoting himself to the principle of free competition.
