Order derived through submission and maintained by terror is not much of a safe guaranty; yet that is the only ""order"" that governments have ever maintained. True social harmony grows naturally out of solidarity of interests. In a society where those who always work never have anything, while those who never work enjoy everything, solidarity of interests is non-existent; hence social harmony is but a myth.... Thus the entire arsenal of governments - laws, police, soldiers, the courts, legislatures, prisons - is strenuously engaged in ""harmonizing"" the most antagonistic elements in society.
