Nicos Poulantzas
Nicos Poulantzas ( ; 21 September 1936 – 3 October 1979) was a Greek-French Marxist
political sociologist and philosopher. In the 1970s, Poulantzas was known, along with
Louis Althusser, as a leading
structural Marxist; while at first a
Leninist, he eventually became a proponent of the "
democratic road to socialism." He is best known for his theoretical work on the state, but he also offered
Marxist contributions to the analysis of
fascism,
social class in the contemporary world, and the collapse of dictatorships in Southern Europe in the 1970s, such as
Francisco Franco's rule in Spain,
António de Oliveira Salazar's in Portugal, and
Georgios Papadopoulos' in Greece.
