"When the political sphere or the sphere of rights controls the development of our individual abilities, it weighs on this development like a crushing burden.

For the interests that arise out of these spheres must naturally produce a tendency to develop such abilities according to the government's needs and not according to their own proper nature, however good may be the original intentions to allow for individual characteristics.

Such a legal or political sphere also imposes an alien character upon economic matters. Those subject to this kind of political system become through constant tutelage spiritually cramped and economically hampered in the pursuit of interests inappropriate to their own nature."

- Rudolf Steiner, What Socialists Do Not See (1919).
