The superstructure is relative to the economic base and has nothing to do with status. The State Council and the township government are superstructures. With what kind of economic foundation, there will be a corresponding superstructure. In our country, the state machine (military prison court, etc. ) It's a superstructure. Education, art and religion are also superstructures.

These superstructures are built on the basis of China's economy. If these superstructures are moved to slave society, they will all be torn down and rebuilt.

Theoretical background

The theory of economic base and superstructure was founded by Marx and Engels. 1843, Marx put forward the proposition that it is not the state that decides the civil society, but the civil society that decides the state, which is the bud of the economic foundation and superstructure theory. The "civil society" here mainly refers to the real economic life.

With Marx's study of capitalist society and his analysis and criticism of bourgeois classical economics, the concept of civil society has been further concretized in the Holy Family 1844, which he and Engels co-authored, and has moved closer to the concept of "relations of production".
