I would add also religion. All of those are means of controlling huge amount of population. It is impossible to count how many wars we encountered in name of religion. Even today we have Syria , Myanmar, Nigeria literally brother kills brother, neighbor kills neighbor , all in name of religion. Dont get me wrong Religions are great for moral codexes it is just that it is easy to control people through religion.

Not necessarily, it really is in the name of the state. Most of these are proxy wars we fight with Russia and China for power play. ISIS was created by our government and use Religion as a tool to corrupt.
When I try to talk about proxy wars people think Im crazy. Most of the wars are actually wars between major powers.
As I said , means for controlling huge amount of population. We have a saying in my country , " Bitno je biti covjek" and the meaning of that is that you need to be Nice to everyone , no matter who he is or what he is. Everything else comes at second place
Wish this was a universal human concept. Mutual Respect And Kindness Towards Everyone No Matter Who They Are. This would solve most of the world's problems today. Bitno je biti covjek well said @iamemir
I agree, typically it's the state twisting people's religion to deceive them & instill fear into their minds. Not to say we would have an absence of false teachings in a stateless society. My contention is that the harm done through such perversions would be greatly, massively reduced to tiny fraction of what it is with a massive coercive state claiming a monopoly on violence.
