The State

Thus spake Zarathustra:

State, what is that? Well then, now open your ears; now I will tell you my tale about the death of nations.

State is the name of the coldest of all cold monsters. It lies coldly and this lie crawls out from its mouth: “I, the State, I am the People!”

Where there is still a real people it does not understand the State and hates it as the evil eye, as sin against morals and rights . . .
