A state without a Volk is nothing, a lifeless frivolous phantom like the vagabond gypsies and Jews.

The secret of living in peace with all people lies in the art of understanding each one by his own individuality.

Weariness, which seeketh to get to the ultimate with one leap, with a death-leap; a poor ignorant weariness, unwilling even to will any longer: that created all Gods and backworlds.

Whatever they may think and say about their "egoism", the great majority nonetheless do nothing for their ego their whole life long: what they do is done for the phantom of their ego which has formed itself in the heads of those around them and has been communicated to them.

Companies simply don't want to come to a state where they think they'll be the target of frivolous lawsuits, or even worse, won't get a fair shake if they are sued. Can you blame them?

The state is nothing but an instrument of opression of one class by another - no less so in a democratic republic than in a monarchy.
