In relation to the Engels’s book, I have also attached a text (here) that was originally an appendix relating to the chapter on the abolition or dying away of the state. The text attached is a detailed analysis of the terminology used by Engels and Marx in the 1840s in relation to the state, finding that they did not advocate such an abolition.
