As far as organisations and institutions go, there is none more brutal nor causes more deaths than the state. With it endless wars killing millions across the globe, all sanctioned as legal by the state apparatus. Then there are the thousands of executions that go on a daily basis, legalised killing by an organisation that attempts to weild supreme power over everybody. Innocent or guilty, no man has the right to take another man's life and it is just men that order and carry out the killing. It may get all dressed up in the trappings of power, ritual and ceremony, but at the end of the day it is just other men killing other men. This mythical thing the state, becomes more powerful than the people it is meant to serve. There is no place for legal murder in any civilised society.
