QUOTE : Every government-even one that is the worst possible, and even though it may have betrayed the nation's trust in a thousand ways-will claim that its duty is to uphold the authority of the state... Generally speaking, we must not forget that the highest aim of human existence is not the maintenance of a state of government, but rather the preservation of the species... If the species is in danger of being oppressed or even eliminated, the question of legality is only of secondary importance. The established power may, in such a case, employ only those means that are alleged to be 'legal.' And yet the instinct of self-preservation on the part of the oppressed will always justify, to the greater degree, the use of all possible resources.
