Born of society, its contradictions, the state itself inevitably becomes contradictory, its activity and social role contradictory. As a form of organisation of society, designed to ensure its integrity and manageability, the state performs functions determined by the needs of society and, therefore, serves its interests. In K. Marx's opinion, the state integrates class society, becomes a form of civil society, expresses and officially represents this society as a whole. Besides, it is an organization for managing the affairs of the entire society, performing general affairs arising from the nature of any society. It is a political organization of the entire population of the country, its common heritage and business. Without the state, the social progress, existence and development of a civilized society is impossible. However, in a class-antagonistic society, the state, performing general social functions, increasingly subordinates its activities to the interests of the most economically powerful class, turns into an instrument of its class dictatorship, and acquires a distinct class character.
