 that the king does not own you, that the state does not own you, that the Poleterian does not own you, that the race does not own you, that nobody owns you. That you are an independent, sovereign being. That your happiness and your well-being is your only responsibility. And that the job of the state, the only job of the state is to protect you, is to make your life safe from the violence, from the coercion, from the fraud, that might be committed on you by your neighbors, or other states, terrorists fulfilling the black deal. But other than protecting you, the state had no role. It was to leave you alone so that you could pursue the values you believed when necessary for your survival and your ultimate flourishing.
