99. It becomes obvious as an unavoidable necessity that all State powers, or all systems of law and justice, are on the way to develop into one concentrated international authority, into a law court or World Court, common to all peoples and nations. This is because ordinary systems of law and justice have a national character, without any particular authority as regards international affairs where they can only function through friendly agreements, provisional treaties or alliances. But as the national system of justice cannot provide a guarantee that these are observed, the nation is forced to maintain permanent armed forces in order to insist, through bloodshed, that its rights, or supposed rights, are respected. But in doing so, its system of law and justice is furthermore forced to be inconsistent. Actions which it has to punish as "criminal" or "immoral" in one case, it will have to recognize as "heroic deeds" and "idealistic" in other cases. So we witness that through its schools, churches and temples, the nation educates the people in religion and neighbourly love, teaches the single individuals that they should not kill, should not commit murder, while the entire existence and maintenance of that nation is based outwardly - concerning other nations - on the killing principle, or on the ingenious refinements of a whole system of murder. At the same time as the State - through its system of law and justice - punishes and chastises every one of its citizens who, either directly or indirectly, injures or causes the death of a fellow citizen or in other ways becomes a nuisance to his fellow beings, because of the absence of a World Court or world authority, that State is forced by means of so-called "military conscription", to compel young male citizens, even before they are of age, to receive ordinary, basic training in becoming obedient servants of the killing principle when facing the "enemy". Here they learn to make use of swords, revolvers, machine-guns, torpedoes, poison gas, as well as deception, robbery, looting and so on. This is actually the same as saying that all those actions which these young men have been brought up to regard as "immoral", "criminal", and "punishable" when directed against compatriots of their own country, they now learn to recognize as pure and glorious "heroic deeds" when directed against the "enemy", against members of another nation, against the fatherland of other people, bringing it to "silence", submission and degradation. And it is obvious that as long as the State or the nation is forced to practise law and order in this way, then it will have a neutralising or restrictive effect as regards the development and progress of its own citizens' spirit, culture and moral values.
