The State, both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely
anti-social. It is not based on the idea of natural rights, but on the
idea that the individual has no rights except those that the State may
provisionally grant him. It has always made justice costly and difficult
of access, and has invariably held itself above justice and common
morality whenever it could advantage itself by so doing.
