71:1.2 The early states were small and were all the result of [[conquest]]. They did not [[originate]] in [[voluntary]] [[associations]]. Many were founded by [[conquering]] [[nomads]], who would swoop down on [[peaceful]] herders or settled [[agriculturists]] to overpower and [[enslave]] them. Such states, resulting from [[conquest]], were, perforce, stratified; classes were [[inevitable]], and [[class]] [[struggles]] have ever been selective.

Similar semistates even now exist in Asia and Africa, but not all of them are [[evolutionary]] reversions; many are the embryonic [[nucleus]]es of [[states]] of the [[future]].
