http://marxists.org/archive/mandel/1980/xx/hismatstate.htm Ernest Mandel's "Historical Materialism and the Capitalist State", 1980, has been translated by Jurriaan and is now available for the *first time in English* at the MIA (Marxists Internet Archive). Excerpt: "Every attempt to deduce the character and essence of the capitalist state directly from the categories of Marx's _Capital_ -- whether from 'capital in general', from the exchange and commercial relations at the surface of bourgeois society, or from the conditions of the valorization of capital -- overlooks that this state, as an institution separated from society and transformed into an autonomous apparatus, was not created by the bourgeoisie itself." In solidarity, Jerry
