The Battle for Democracy : Central Task in Class Struggle

Lenin says democracy is still a state . The bourgeoisie’s preferred form of rule is a Democratic Republican shell. For Communists , there is a battle for democracy between the Proletariat and the Bourgeoisie in capitalist society. It’s the central political task for the Proletariat in the class struggle “ We have seen above, that the first step in the revolution by the working class is to raise the proletariat to the position of ruling class to win the battle of democracy.” https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-manifesto/ch02.htm .
