National democratic state

A national democratic state is a state formation that is the result of specific base and superstructural relation that exists in that given state, according to Marxist–Leninist theory. The ideological concept was first formulated in the Soviet Union, and it was intended as a tool for Soviet foreign policy as well as communist parties in Third World countries trying to seize power.

The Soviets designated both communist states and non-communist states as national democratic states, for example, the communist state of the People's Republic of Angola and the non-communist state of Gamal Abdel Nasser's Egypt.
