In order to reach total control over each individual person, the State must pursue a divide et impera policy. It must weaken, undermine, and ultimately destroy all other, rival centers of social authority. Most importantly, it must weaken the traditional, patriarchic family household, and especially the independently wealthy family household, as autonomous decision-making centers by sowing and legislating conflicts between wives and husbands, children and parents, women and men, rich and poor. As well, all hierarchical orders and ranks of social authority, all exclusive associations, and all personal loyalties and attachments — be it to a particular family, community, ethnicity, tribe, nation, race, language, religion, custom, or tradition — except the attachment to a given State qua citizen-subject and passport holder, must be weakened and ultimately destroyed.
