According to the Marxist concept of society, it is paramount to analyze the term ‘political organization of society’, which is the expression of civil society as a whole. If we continue approaching the Marxist perspective, the origin of political organization of society lies on the division of society in antagonist classes, which leads to the differences in social and political life, and new social relationships appear: political and juridical, with their own organizations and institutions (State and political parties), which are founded in order to conquer power. Thus, the political organization of any society divided into classes is defined as ‘the system of institutions and organizations that regulate political relationships among classes, nations and States’. (Konstantinov, F. Fundamentos de la ‘ia marxist a-leninist a, Parte II, Materialism o hist’o rico, De. Ciencias Sociales, La Habana, 1968, p.
149).
As to other Marxist authors, the political organization in its narrow meaning represents the ‘system of the dictatorship of the dominant class’, and in its widest meaning it represents ‘all who take part in the State affairs’. The term ‘political organization of society’ establishes a difference between civil society and State (Hegel already had dealt with that) and this difference is: the relationship between civil society and its political organization can be expressed as the relationship between contents and shape. The concept of political organization of society is comparable to the state of organization. Its relationship is that of the whole with the part’. (Colectivo de auto res.

Te or ” ia marxist a leninist a del estado y el der echo E. Pol ” iti ca, La Habana 1985, p. 294) Theoretically, there is a difference between civil society and State, but the limits existing between both of them are very dim. As to the political organization of socialist society we find that the socialist State has the Hegel’s way of formation regarding civil society: ‘The Socialist State is in the first place an instrument devoted to uniting the masses, giving them a communist education and construct the new society’. (Konstantinov, F. Op.
cit. p. 42).
That is, the State takes the responsibility of bringing all men into the ‘monolithic ally unity’ in thinking and acting, toward the ‘indissoluble ideological and socio-political unity of the people’s up porting the communist party.
(Afanasiev. Fundamentos del cent’i fico. De. Pol ” iti ca, La Habana, p. 43).
It is possible to attain this purpose only by taking autonomy away from all civil society and imposing by force the stereotypes of only one part of this society.
Thus the State, the Party, and the civil society become an homogeneous ‘whole’ with no differences. In the guidelines of the CPC (Communist Party of Cuba) it is stated that ‘the Communist Party of Cuba, which is the vanguard of the working class and the whole people, is the highest leading force of this system and the whole society’. (Programa del PCC, Ed. Pol ” iti ca, La Habana, 1987, p. 65).
When explaining about the so-called system of socialist democracy it says: ‘it is made up of a group of state institutions and political, mass and social organizations of different contents and related among them when they function. The Party rules and coordinates the work of that group, and controls the full achievement of the specific functions of each member’. (idem).

These totalizing purposes are further strengthened: ‘our party is the governing force of Cuban society. The party devises the general guidelines of the development of the country and the politics that corresponds to each stage of the Revolution; it determines the main trends in economical, social and cultural affairs: it leads the foreign policy of the nation; it strives for deepening the revolutionary and communist consciousness of the masses and prepares them to face ideological fight against class enemies; it organizes the defense of the Motherland through the concept of the war of the whole people’. (idem).
So we can conclude, after the former assertions that the State is the Party, the Party is the State, and both intend to completely absorb civil society. Those assertions are not only part of simple programmatic statements, but they have become the law of the Republic: ‘Article No. 5: ‘The Communist Party of Cuba, Marxist and Leninist, organized vanguard of the Cuban nation, is the leading force of society and the State; it organizes and guides the common efforts toward the high goals of the construction of socialism and the way to the communist society’.
