'The State (a.k.a. State Apparatus) is a Mechanism of Reproduction used by the Accumulating Class to help them reproduce the labour requirements of The System." The state itself consists of State Power and the State Apparatus. The state apparatus consists of the Repressive State Apparatus and the Ideological State Apparatus.[1] [2]

Notes
=Althusser
It is a "force of repressive execution and intervention ‘in the interests of the ruling classes’ in the class struggle conducted by the bourgeoisie and its allies against the proletariat...[3]
"The State is thus first of all what the Marxist classics have called the State Apparatus. This term means: not only the specialized apparatus (in the narrow sense) whose existence and necessity I have recognized in relation to the requirements of legal practice,i.e. the police, the courts, the prisons; but also the army, which (the proletariat has paid for this experience with its blood) intervenes directly as a supplementary repressive forcein the last instance, when the police and its specialized auxiliary corps are ‘outrun by events’; and above this ensemble, the head of State, the government and the administration."[4]
