State and society in the political philosophy of Karl Marx

The government is the most present fact of human experience and a huge combination of facts related to forces, powers and institutions. The government is the highest manifestation relationship of power and sovereignty that existed in all societies. The most important aspect of government governance is the establishment and implementation of laws in society. In some theories government, the coercive aspect of governments is emphasized. Some political realists and Marxists have considered the government as a tool of coercion. In later works, the government is described as an institution providing welfare and comfort.One of the most influential views of the government on societies, from late to today has been the view of Karl Marx. In Marx's thought, the concept of the state is based on three different opinions: the state as a means of suppressing the working class, the state as an arbiter or mediator, and finally, the state as a function of the economic infrastructure variable. Also, in this view, the government 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 government is considered. As result, it seems that in Marx's point of view, according to the interpretations presented, the concept of the state in terms of playing a different role, in terms of existential necessity, has the possibility of survival in the short term, but its continued existence is not possible.
