 Yes, Jerry is missing the point. The Erfurt Programme has two parts: Maximum (revolution) and Minimum (reform) Programme. The first part describes in a more general sense the long term aim(s). The Minimum programme has in turn two parts. First part has 10 aims to be implemented to improve the quality of social life in general - not just administration. The second part aims to improve work conditions of working classes. So it is not state centred at all.

That is not the issue here, it relates to election of judges which
was in the RSDLP programme ( based on Erfurt programme )

Hi Paul C and others:
I think that's consistent with the state (no pun intended) of German Social 
Democracy at the time - which was very 'state-centered'  both in its programme
for actions and in its vision of socialism.  When this (state-centered) 
perspective 
was first adopted by the SPD (and to what it extent it was influenced 
by Engels)  is another question.
 
In solidarity, Jerry
