I’ll be honest, I completely fucked up the wording there. Rather than “reconcile,” I meant resolve, as in when the bourgeoisie comes into conflict with the proletariat, the state will resolve it in favor of the proletariat through class oppression, hence why I said it would resolve them in favor of the proletariat. Thanks for pointing it out, I’m not a Kaustkyite I assure you.

As far as your second paragraph, I’m in full agreement. What Engels calls the “Administration of Things” cannot be anything but an organized society, and that implies government, but with private property sublimated it will no longer have any class character and the state as such will no longer exist, as it cannot resolve class contradictions that no longer exist.

I’ll correct my wording!
