Novi putovi legitimacije politicke zajednice

In: Politicka misao, Band 37, Heft 2, S. 56-68

Abstract

The author analyzes two famous critiques of the bourgeois state: Marx's thesis on the withering away of the state as an instrument of force of the economically dominant bourgeois class, which, by means of the quasi-neutral state as the higher third instance, controls the class antagonisms whose disappearance will make the state as an instrument of repression obsolete; & Carl Schmitt's thesis that the state will become unnecessary in the world in which there are no longer any enemies, only offenders who violate humanistic norms & human rights. 8 References.
