The purpose of this article is to rescue the most important aspects represented
in the theoretical foundations of the capitalist state contained within a Marxist perspective and
historical and theoretical analysis. The method used in this research work to achieve this goal
involves the deductive method because of the general, which includes a discussion of the
theoretical foundations of the Theory of Capitalist State and also the inductive method
because it considers the particular, ie the theory the capitalist state, bringing up the most
relevant contributions on the subject, supported by the intellectual legacy of several authors
such as Karl Marx, Hegel, Engels, Lenin, Gramsci, Offe. The justification for the choice and
development of this topic stems from the importance and immediate continuation of studies
on the Theory of the Capitalist State, especially in a current critical low acceptance in the
academy now. The main conclusion of this work is that the state is an instrument of the ruling
class aimed at providing solutions to the conflicts arising from the impossibility of all existing
classes in society, concomitantly, to appropriate political power. As a result, the state is seen
as both a product of relations of domination and shaper.
