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.

71:1.15 The embryonic [[state]] was made possible by the decline of the [[Genetic|blood bond]] in favor of the [[Property|territorial]], and such [[tribal]] federations were usually firmly cemented by [[conquest]]. While a [[sovereignty]] that [[transcends]] all minor [[struggles]] and [[group]] [[differences]] is the characteristic of the true [[state]], still, many [[classes]] and [[castes]] persist in the later [[state]] [[organizations]] as remnants of the [[clans]] and [[tribes]] of former days. The later and larger territorial states had a long and bitter [[struggle]] with these smaller consanguineous [[clan]] [[groups]], the tribal [[government]] proving a valuable [[transition]] from [[family]] to [[state]] [[authority]]. During later times many clans grew out of trades and other [[industrial]] [[associations]].

71:1.16 [[Failure]] of [[state]] [[integration]] results in retrogression to prestate conditions of [[governmental]] [[techniques]], such as the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feudalism feudalism] of the European [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_Ages Middle Ages]. During these dark ages the territorial state collapsed, and there was a reversion to the small castle [[groups]], the reappearance of the [[clan]] and [[tribal]] [[stages]] of [[development]]. 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]].

71:5.1 [[Competition]] is [[essential]] to [[social]] [[progress]], but competition, unregulated, breeds [[violence]]. In current [[society]], [[competition]] is slowly displacing [[war]] in that it determines the [[individual]]'s place in [[industry]], as well as decreeing the [[survival]] of the industries themselves. ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder Murder] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War war] differ in their [[status]] before the [[mores]], murder having been outlawed since the early days of [[society]], while war has never yet been outlawed by [[mankind]] as a whole.)

71:5.2 The [[ideal]] [[state]] undertakes to [[regulate]] [[social]] [[conduct]] only enough to take [[violence]] out of [[individual]] [[competition]] and to prevent unfairness in [[personal]] [[initiative]]. Here is a great [[problem]] in statehood: How can you guarantee [[peace]] and [[quiet]] in [[industry]], pay the [[taxes]] to support [[state]] [[power]], and at the same time prevent [[taxation]] from [[handicapping]] [[industry]] and keep the state from becoming [[parasitical]] or [[tyrannical]]?
