"One can throw away a chair and destroy a pane of glass, but ... [only] idle talkers regard the state as such a thing or as a fetish that one can smash in order to destroy it. The state is a condition, a certain relationship among human beings, a mode of behavior between men; we destroy it by contraction other relationships, by behaving differently toward one another ... We are the state, and we shall continue to be the state until we have created the institutions that form a real community and society."
-Landauer, Gustav. 1910.
