The State Originated In Conquest And Confiscation, As A Device For Maintaining The Stratification Of Society Permanently Into Two Classes-an Owning And Exploiting Class, Relatively Small, And A Propertyless Dependent Class. . . . No State Known To History Originated In Any Other Manner, Or For Any Other Purpose Than To Enable The Continuous Economic Exploitation Of One Class By Another.
