An idea from Thus Spoke Zarathustra

The coldest of all cold monsters is the state, and its coldest lie is the sentence: I am the people. It is not. Peoples were made by creators, one at a time, out of what they loved. Where a state ends is where the people who are actually needed begin.

From Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche
