The idea of the Citizen is that his individual human nature shall be constantly and creatively active in _altering_ the State.

The Germans are right in regarding the idea as dangerously revolutionary.

Every Citizen _is_ a revolution.

That is, he destroys, devours and adapts his environment to the extent of his own thought and conscience.

This is what separates the human social effort from the non-human; the bee creates the honey-comb, but he does not criticise it.
