In an extended dialogue with democratic jurist Hans Kelsen, Adler shows that the so-called necessity of law as the neutral arbiter of a democratic society has been heretofore a flawed imposition of the authoritative understandings of the ruling classes. Adler’s brings to his argument the Kantian concept of “sociation”, where every human judgment perforce sets its determinations within its view of the social whole, demonstrating that an accurate comprehension of interdependent equality that realizes an objective “sociation” can only occur in a “classless” society.Historical Materialism Book Series;volume192.Communist stateState, TheCommunism and societyCommunist state.State, The.Communism and society.321.92Adler Max1873-1937.81555Blum Mark E.NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910793762103321The Marxist conception of the state3717042UNINA
