    Every logical and sincere theory of the State is essentially founded on the principle of authority—that is to say on the eminently theological, metaphysical and political idea that the masses, always incapable of governing themselves, must submit at all times to the benevolent yoke of a wisdom and a justice, which in one way or another, is imposed on them from above. But imposed in the name of what and by whom? Authority recognized and respected as such by the masses can have only three possible sources—force, religion, or the action of a superior intelligence; and this supreme intelligence is always represented by minorities.

The State is not thinkable without lordship and servitude (subjection); for the State must will to be the lord of all that it embraces, and this will is called the “will of the State.”The State practices “violence,” the individual mustnot do so. The State's behavior is violence, and it calls its violence “law”; that of the individual, “crime.” Crime, then—so the individual's violence is called; and only by crime does he overcome the State's violence when he thinks that the State is not above him, but he is above the State.
