Lassalleanism (also Lassallism) was a state socialist political tendency developed by the Prussian-German jurist and socialist activist Ferdinand Lassalle. Lassalleanism viewed the state as a neutral, eternal institution above class society, which could be captured by workers through universal suffrage to bring about socialism. Its central practical demand was for state aid to be provided for the establishment of producer cooperatives. Proponents of this strategy advocated an alliance between the workers' movement and the Prussian state against the liberal bourgeoisie.
