The Ego And His Own - pg. 254

Pauperism is the valuelessness of me, the phenomenon
that I cannot realize value from myself. For this reason State
and pauperism are one and the same. The State does not let me
come to my value, and continues in existence only through my
valuelessness: it is forever intent on getting benefit from
me, exploiting me, turning me to account, using me up, even if
the use it gets from me consists only in my supplying a
proles (proletariat); it wants me to be "its creature".
