#SocialState and #Leviathan

"The modern state apparatus originally appeared metaphorically with #Hobbes as a dragon-like monster and later was renamed in the context of the mechanistic world view as a counterpart of the market machine to the violence or to the "pedagogical machine", it now began to appear as "#FatherState". Which means nothing more than that mankind, which was soon made happy by the welfare state, got a machine-like bureaucratic monster for a guardian step-father."
