pamphleteer verb

Плеханов ухитрился трактовать эту тему, совершенно обойдя самое актуальное, злободневное и политически наиболее существенное в борьбе против анархизма, именно отношение революции к государству и вопрос о государстве вообще! В его брошюре выделяются две части: одна — историко-литературная, с ценным материалом по истории идей Штирнера, Прудона и пр. Другая часть: филистерская, с аляповатым рассуждением на тему о том, что анархиста не отличишь от бандита. Сочетание тем презабавное и прехарактерное для всей деятельности Плеханова во время кануна революции и в течение революционного периода в России: Плеханов так и показал себя в 1905—1917 годах полудоктринером, полуфилистером, в политике шедшим в хвосте у буржуазии. Мы видели, как Маркс и Энгельс, полемизируя с анархистами, выясняли всего тщательнее свои взгляды на отношение революции к государству.
The question of the relation of the state to the social revolution, and of the social revolution to the state, like the question of revolution generally, was given very little attention by the leading theoreticians and publicists of the Second International (1889-1914). But the most characteristic thing about the process of the gradual growth of opportunism that led to the collapse of the Second International in 1914 is the fact that even when these people were squarely faced with this question they tried to evade it or ignored it. In general, it may be said that evasiveness over the question of the relation of the proletarian revolution to the state - an evasiveness which benefited and fostered opportunism - resulted in the distortion of Marxism and in its complete vulgarization. To characterize this lamentable process, if only briefly, we shall take the most prominent theoreticians of Marxism: Plekhanov and Kautsky. Plekhanov's Controversy with the Anarchists Plekhanov wrote a special pamphlet on the relation of anarchism to socialism, entitled Anarchism and Socialism, which was published in german in 1894. In treating this subject, Plekhanov contrived completely to evade the most urgent, burning, and most politically essential issue in the struggle against anarchism, namely, the relation of the revolution to the state, and the question of the state in general!
