Book •
Randolph Bourne's "War Is the Health of the State" is a powerful essay that critiques the relationship between war and the state.

He contends that war fosters a climate of nationalism and conformity, suppressing dissent and critical thinking.
The essay's insightful analysis of the state's use of war to consolidate power remains relevant today.
Bourne's work serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked state power and the importance of maintaining individual freedoms in times of conflict.
