Quote #5 on Political Struggle Quotes >> State and Coercion
“...the State represents all the autocratic, arbitrary, coercive, belligerent forces within a social group, it is a sort of complexus of everything most distasteful to the modern free creative spirit, the feeling for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
Source: "War is the Health of the State," by Randolph Bourne, 1918.
