Alex reflects: "Power, power, everybody like wants power." As a microcosm of the social

Both Machiavelli's The Prince and Hobbes’ Leviathan are classic pieces of political literature which were radical at the time. Both of these works describe power and how the acquirement and loss of such political power often leads to violence. In The Prince, Machiavelli outlines the ways in which princes gain and lose power, and how this is instrumentally tied to violence. This also showcases the ever changing dynamics and constant attempted power grabs that result in a frequently changing society

Wolff (1970) defines a state as a group of persons who have the right to exercise supreme authority within a territory, over a population. He proposes In the Defense of Anarchism, men are autonomous, as higher degrees of autonomy is achieved, a man will resist the claim that states have authority over him.

The anarchist challenge is clearly put by Wolff “The defining mark of the state is authority, the right to rule. The primary obligation of man is autonomy, the refusal to be ruled.
