This may also not be forgotten that the state is not a static entity but has evolved through various stages. For the anarchists, state is an aberration and encumbrance on liberty therefore they want the annihilation of the state. For Marxists, the state is an instrument of oppression for subjugating the ruled and they believe in the replacement of the state with a classless society free of exploitation. The fascists negate the individual self and merges it with the state as for them the individual only exists for the state. The state, not the empire, dynasty, or religious confession was acknowledged as the building block of the European order with the concept of sovereignty as the main feature of the state.
