I understand (and don't disagree with) his criticisms on capitalist philosophy of labor and property, but I don't understand why he believes that a state created by a proletariat revolution would be anything but a continuation of the previous state. There is simply no way to maintain a state without exploitation of it's constituent members. Am I missing something? It's like he believes that a state composed of working class joes would be intrinsically concerned with the abolition of the exploitation of the previous social order, but then cites previous revolutions where that explicitly didn't occur, which he just writes off to the 'underdeveloped' state of the proletariat.

Ultimately, it seems to me like a product of the 'revolutionary' nature of the latter half of the 18th and beginning of the 19th century (which, with the beginnings of modernity, experienced paradigm shifts in the organization of state, finances, and military).

Please help me to understand this text. I think I'm just not educated enough to understand it.

I never knew my dad, and it's really starting to get to me lately, I have no fucking idea why, it's never bothered me before now. He is dead, so finding him and striking up some sort of relationship is out of the question.

So. I need suggestions for novels that touch on the search for a father figure when you don't have one. The only novels I've ever encountered that deal with this idea to any degree are Shantaram and fucking Pet Sematary.

I'm not looking for like. A sappy meditation where someone bemoans not having daddy around or anything, or even that this is a central theme of the book, I'd just like to read something where the protagonist at some point addresses the search or need or yearning for some sort of father figure.
