Summary

This quote suggests that the existence of a State and true freedom cannot coexist. It implies that as long as a centralized governing body exists, individual freedom cannot be fully realized. Only when true freedom is achieved, without the limitations and controls imposed by the State, can the need for a governing body become obsolete. In this view, freedom and the State are presented as mutually exclusive concepts.
