The state is the greatest evil,
that human beings have botched throughout the centuries
and every single human being is but a peg
into which the state hammers the nail of its omnipotence.

Dabei ist grad der Staat das größte Übel,
das alle Menschen seit Jahrhunderten versaut;
und jeder einzelne von uns ist nur ein Dübel,
in den der Staat den Nagel seiner Allmacht haut.
