In his philosophical publications, Lassalle defended and developed main postulates of Hegelianism. In the "System of Acquired Rights", the author strived to prove the legitimacy of revolutions, which he regarded as a process of "abolition-acquisition" of rights by the citizens. In the work on economics "Mr. Bastiat-Schulze von Delitzsch, the Economic Julian, or Capital and Labour", Lassalle drew a society of the future, where workers would co-own the means of production. Such a society could be achieved by peaceful revolution, through reforms. Lassalle used his scientific achievements to substantiate his political theory. Not all Lassalle's ideas have stood the test of time, but some of them subsequently have been developed by theorists of European social democracy.
