Here is something from Martin Buber's Paths in Utopia on the ideas of the German anarchist and martyr, Gustav Landauer.

"It would be madness,"  Landauer writes in a letter to a woman who wanted to abolish marriage, "to dream of abolishing the few forms of union that remain to us!  We need form, not formlessness.  We need tradition."  He who builds, not arbitrarily and fruitlessly, but  legitimately and for the future, acts with inner kinship with age-old tradition, and this entrusts itself to him and gives him strength.  It will now be clear why Landauer calls the "other" relationship which man can enter into instead the ordinary State-relationship, not by nay new name but simply "People".  Such a "People" comprehend comprehend the innermost reality of "Nationhood" - what remains over after when "Statehood" and politicization have been superseded:  a community of being and  a being in manifold community.
