Hegel

"But an individual structure necessarily departs from its own ideal of being the universal will, and becomes the will of a faction which may readily be replaced by another faction. It cannot escape the guilt of violating its own principles. Such guilt, being devoid of any objective principle, in indistinguishable from mere suspicion, and its only fit punishment is simple annihilation."
