**The State Is The Institutionalization Of Violence**
Genghis Khan was a state leader.
He founded and ruled the Mongol Empire (1206-1227), which became the largest contiguous empire in history.
He was not only a conqueror, but also established a system of government with laws, administration and trade.
He created the Yassa, a legal code, promoted meritocracy and ensured security on the Silk Road.
He was considered a barbarian because of his violence.
**What makes him different from today's governments, which call themselves civilized and also start wars, massacres and persecutions?**
