„The state … is a social institution, forced by a victorious group of men on a defeated group, with the sole purpose of regulating the dominion of the victorious group over the vanquished and securing itself against revolt from within and attacks from abroad…. This dominion had no other purpose than the economic exploitation of the vanquished by the victors.“
Franz Oppenheimer (1864–1946)
Der Neid galt einst als eine der sieben Todsünden, bevor er unter neuem Namen zu einer der am meisten bewunderten Tugenden wurde. ‚Soziale Gerechtigkeit‘.
— Thomas Sowell
