Genocide always requires organized state or militia planning

Evidence

Genocide is always organized, usually by the state, though sometimes informally or by terrorist groups. Special army units or militias are often trained and armed. Plans are made for genocidal killings. — Gregory H. Stanton, Ten Stages of Genocide, 4 (#corroborates, via linked claim)

Bureaucracy is intrinsically capable of genocidal action. To engage in such an action, it needs an encounter with another invention of modernity: a bold design of a better, more reasonable and rational social order – say a racially uniform, or a classless society – and above all the capacity of drawing such designs and determination to make them efficacious. Genocide follows when two common and abundant inventions of modern times meet. It is only their meeting which has been, thus far, uncommon and rare. — Zygmunt Bauman, Modernity and the Holocaust, 309 (#expands, via linked claim)
