Der Krieg als Institution war ebenso wie das Königstum und die Bürokratie eine neue Erfindung, etwa aus der Zeit um 3000 v. Chr. Damals wie heute lagen ihm keine psychologischen Faktoren, wie etwa die menschliche Aggression, zugrunde.

Erich Fromm

War as an institution was a new invention, like kingdom or bureaucracy, made around 3000 BC. Then as now, it was not caused by psychological factors, such as human aggression, but, aside from the wishes for power and glory of the kings and their bureaucracy, was the result of objective conditions thast made war useful and which, as a consequence, tended to generate and increase human destructiveness and cruelty.
