The quotation about replacing the bourgeois state with the proletarian state and its withering away is associated with which political ideology?
Correct Answer:
Communism
Explanation:
The idea here is a central claim of Marxist theory: the state exists to uphold the ruling class, and after the working class seizes power, the state becomes a temporary tool—the dictatorship of the proletariat—that eventually withers away as class differences disappear and a classless, stateless society emerges. That vision of a future where ownership is common and the state is no longer needed is the hallmark of communism. Capitalism centers on private property and a state to protect it; democracy is a form of governance rather than an economic-ideological end goal; and socialism is often seen as a transitional phase toward communism, not the final stateless end state described by this idea.
