The Extraordinary Commission and the class state in Soviet Russia
The Anti Counter Revolution Committee explains the need for a dedicated conflict apparatus. It traces the origin of the state as an instrument of violence, from Tsarist times through the February and October revolutions, and defends the All-Russian Extraordinary Commission for Fighting Counter Revolution as essential to suppress counter revolution, protect the Soviet power, and mobilize citizens as guards and Red Army allies.
