Summary/Abstract: The study analyses the replacement of Marxist theory in the era of state socialism. The focus of the article is on the attitude to the state and on the very concept of „socialism"; the latter was equated by Lenin, and more recently by Balibar, with „dictatorship of the proletariat"; this view has had crucial implications for the history of Marxist thought and practice. The author considers that the term „socialism“, in principle, had a negative connotation for Marx, who, as well as Engels, argued that socialism does not mean social structure.
