The State and Transition

The State and Transition (Latin Nemonics: Тхэ Статэ анд Транситион, Russian: Госудаство и Трансформация) is a political manifesto written by the Shturmovik Party leader Abrasha Levin during the Shturmovik Revolution. It was published on May 9th, 48,776 in commemoration of the mythological emancipation of slavery in 1865. In summary, the Levinist purpose of the state is to function as a republic of the proletariat during the transition toward "communism" and the existence of such a state prevents the necessity of heavy handed statist actions against the unhatched. Once the transition is complete, the republic of the proletariat serves only as a union between the autonomous zones. He also explains that the state can serve as a regulatory force that allows unhatched people as well as other outsiders who do not follow the morality and religion of the Shturmovik Party to coexist in the same society without forcing them to convert. It has generally been accepted as a belief of the party that ideological homogeneity and belief in Abrahamic religion and morality is necessary for a stateless society to function. A republic of the proletariat is therefore seen as a compromise that avoids forced reeducation of political and philosophical dissidents.

Economic theory

Abrasha Levin was extremely critical of free markets and described them as "tools of the bourgeoise" to "subjugate the people in the absence of any autocratic ruler." He described the "socialist" technocrats as the elites of the market economy of the USSR who exploited free aspects of the economy to maintain control. He stated that all free markets will eventually concentrate wealth to the point that the economic elites will eventually form a ruling class with all the despotism as an autocracy. The state in such a society would merely be a formality and the real state would be controlled by the elites.

Levin expressed the common belief that workers should receive fair compensation in proportion for their effort. Communist philosophers had discussed ideas related to labor and the distribution of wealth in the previous centuries, and decided that payment should be based on effort because everyone would not always contribute equally. They understood that the market would set wages and determine the value of labor, but they also believed that large business owners should pay fair wages. Levin responded to the common sentiment of work-shyness by proposing standards for workers who expected the state to enforce its will on their behalf. He suggested that low wages in certain unskilled jobs were acceptable for members of the impotent bourgeoise.
