It
is not the state that ranges higher than the human being but the
human is the up-most authority in the state which assists the
community to cope with everyday life.
No
state, considering its own coming and passing, its temporary
existence, has the right of demanding or even forcing sacrifices of
human lives.
The
constitutional law of the state's defense against aggressors is
characterizing the armed forces by clear defense mission, excluding
definitely any war of aggression.
Nobody
can be forced to armed force against one's will.
The
defense army consequently consists of volunteers.
But
the highest priority of the state is the preservation of peace by
perspective politics, including all spheres of life.
This
means especially the forbidding of economical overreaching and
exploitation, of arms trade and military build-ups in other states
and organizations as well as the interference of companies and
religious groups with democratic decision-making processes and with
the execution of decisions taken by liberal agreement.
To
offset militant patriotism and primitive racism high educational
standards of the population are necessary, so the state has to
guarantee appropriate educational offers.
It
is not a matter of creating well functioning one-track specialists
and consumers under state control and paternalism but it relates to
the (even earlier propagated) empowered citizen with the ability of
thinking and deciding accordingly to an enlightened and humane world
view that is free from ideology and is objectified, that is
responsible, emancipated, provided with empathy and education of the
heart, that respects distinguished talents and avoids egalitarianism.
The
exaggeration of the national state, often appealing to “God”, is
representing a hypocritical outrage against the human, reviles the
citizen and the international community and is only aiming at the
claim to power and the maintaining power of blended egomaniacs and
their followers.
