editFrom arbitrary institutions in society to the one this article is about. Obviously as stated in the original text by Engels, a withering away of all social institutions is not implied or intended, just the opposite, a strengthening of institutions in production and at the community level obviating the coercive nation state is what IS implied and intended. 76.180.168.166 (talk) 13:45, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
Changing referenced content
editI am a bit concerned about the edits of User:TribesAddict here, describing as clarifying, but I think the changes may go beyond just that. If anyone would like to comment on this, it would be appreciated. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:29, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
In practice
editI think someone should add that the USSR has withered away, in 1991. KHIUFu 666 (talk) 13:45, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
