The position of the government has always focused the minds of politicians and economists. limited and conditional, based on the principle of consent and with the aim of creating peace and public welfare based on the social contract and the right of public rebellion in times of inefficiency and disobedience to the law, and in the view of Karl Marx, the concept of the state based on According to three different opinions: the government as a tool to suppress the working class, the government as an arbiter or mediator, and finally the government as a function of the economic infrastructure variable. The concept of government can be seen in the meaning of referee or mediator in Locke's and Marx's theories. Marx's view, the state in the capitalist system acts as a consolidation tool of this system, and with the victory of the proletariat and until the formation of communism, its existence is necessary, and after that, the removal of the state is considered. However Locke's liberal view, the existence of the government is necessary and continuous thing, and idea trustworthy government is interest. As a result, in the two competing viewpoints according to the proposed interpretations, the concept of the government in terms of playing a role except for the government in the role of arbiter or mediator in other cases is different, in terms of the necessity of existence in the short term on the path of convergence, but the continuation of existence It shows the path of divergence.
