Anarchism, Individual, State
The Anarchist concept of an antagonistic relation between Individual and State/Government is concrete in one context--criminal jurisprudential proceedings. For, in those, it is the State or Government vs. some particular citizen. But, whether or not the action is justified, it is implicitly a deviation from some non-antagonistic relation. So, even if that antagonism has become normalized in a given polis, it does not follow that it is inherent in political organization. Likewise, that some organism is chronically ill does not imply that Life is essentially a diseased condition. So, Anarchism has no more than contingent value--as a corrective to a Rule in which the Ruled are alienated from the Ruling.
