Quote #3 on Political Struggle Quotes >> State and Oppression
“No one will deny that war is a vast complex of life-destroying and life-crippling forces. If the State's chief function is war, then it is chiefly concerned with coordinating and developing the powers and techniques which make for destruction.”
