-The transitional state is not seen as something the workers 'build', it is simply a necessity and an inevitability as long as class distinctions still exist (as they most certainly will in a revolutionary and post-revolutionary period). It is an entity that will exist, however it must be subject to the dictatorship of the proletariat, since the state strives to maintain the status quo, in this case class distinctions among the non-exploiting strata (lumpenproletariat, petit-bourgeoisie, etc) and the proletariat, it must be on guard against until it dissolves. Which is why all political and military power must be directly in the hands of the working class (manifested through its class organs- workers councils, shop committee's, assemblies, worker-militias, class party- and the direct participation of the workers of the world in these and similar bodies).
