The rich are often seen to be unhappy the poor to be happy. Not until we have reduced ourselves to nothingness can we conquer the evil in us. Impure means result in an impure end. Hence the prince and the peasant will not be equalized by cutting off the prince's head, nor can the process of cutting off equalize the employer and the employed. One cannot reach truth by untruthfulness.
Political power means capacity to regulate national life through national representatives.
If national life becomes so perfect as to become self-regulated,no representation becomes necessary. There is then a state of enlightened anarchy. In such a state everyone is his own ruler. He rules himself in such a manner that he is never a hindrance to his neighbour. In the ideal state, therefore, there is no political power because there is no state.
