		Because, the Prussian explains, In an _unpolitical_ country like Germany it is not possible to represent the sporadic misery of the factory districts as a matter of universal concern, let alone as a disaster to the whole civilized world.

	Karl Marx -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Young Hegelians with whom Marx was associated believed that there were still further dialectical changes to come, and that the Prussian society of the time was far from perfect as it still contained pockets of poverty, government censorship was in place, and non-Lutherans suffered from religious discrimination.
		Most scholars reject this claim for two reasons: first, it is based on two short essays written in the 1840s, and ignores the bulk of Marx's analysis of capitalism written in the following years.
		Others argue that class is not the most fundamental inequality in history and call attention to (A form of social organization in which a male is the family head and title is traced through the male line) patriarchy or (A contest of speed) race.

	Warsaw Voice - Reparation Raging
		The Sejm resolution calling on the Polish government to act concerning the matter of war reparations has triggered a wave of declarations and statements both on the Polish and German sides of the border.
		"This declaration is a response to claims by Die Preussische Treuhand (Prussian Claims Society) concerning indemnity for property lost in the East," says journalist Helga Hirsch.
		However, no signature from any leader of the Union of the Expelled (BdV) was obtained on the Hirsch declaration; most of them insist on their rights to "native lands," despite the fact that even lawyers sympathizing with Erika Steinbach's BdV admit that chances for obtaining indemnity are slim.

		This so-called Prussian begins by reporting the contents of the Royal Prussian Order in Council on the subject of the workers’ uprising in Silesia [2] and goes on to give the opinion of the French journal La Reforme [3] of the same Prussian Order in Council.
		The "Prussian" heaps further obloquy on the unpolitical nature of Germany because the King of Prussia has located the cause of pauperism in "failures of the administration or of charitable institutions" and has therefore looked to administrative or charitable measures to provide a cure for pauperism.
		For, the fragmentation, the depravity, and the slavery of civil society is the natural foundation of the modern state, just as the civil society of slavery was the natural foundation of the state in antiquity.

		German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder tried to sooth irritated Poles, who have little sympathy for Germans forced to flee the far eastern regions of the country when they were transferred to Poland at the end of the war.
		The claims of those displaced and their descendents have only opened old wounds, with many remembering the widespread devastation inflicted by the Nazis, including the almost complete destruction of the capital Warsaw.

	Judaism
		However, later in the 1800's French society became more anti-Semitic, culminating in the Dreyfus affair where a French army officer was unjustly accused of treason, mainly because he was a Jew, and French Masonry unfortunately also became more anti-Jewish.
		German officials feared secret societies as potential sources of subversion, so the Prussian government became involved in Masonry as a means to watch and control it.
		Critics said Freemasonry and Judaism were dedicated to undermining the institutions of existing society, including Christianity and the State, and pointed to the secrecy associated with both as proof of their evil intentions.

	Warsaw-Berlin Tensions Rise Over Expellee Claims \| Europe \| Deutsche Welle \| 06.09.2004
		But now that Poland has been a democratic country for more than a decade, the same authority is now reviewing old claims and in some cases is claiming that property legally belongs to the former owners, even if it is under the control of Polish authorities.
		In those cases, the agency is urging former claims recipients to sue in Poland to regain their property.
		When groups like the Prussian Claims Society threaten the Poles with lawsuits, he said, "then suddenly you start to hear demands in Poland that the sum of the Polish war damage should be assessed and a bill sent to Germany."

		In The Ego and Its Own Stirner launches a radical anti-authoritarian and individualist critique of contemporary Prussian society, and modernity and modern western society as such, and offers an approach to human existence, which borders on the edge of language and reality.
		The same holds true for those of society's institutions, that uphold these concepts, be it the state, legislation, the church, the systems of education, or other institutions that claim authority over the individual.
		Only when the false claims of authority by such concepts and institutions are revealed, can real individual action, power and identity take place.
