States must engender an opposite and create an enemy.

Evidence

Hegel uses the verb erzeugen again when claiming, in the Philosophy of Right, that “the state is an individual and individuality essentially implies negation” (Hegel, Philosophy of Right, §324). “Hence,” Hegel continues, “even if a number of states make themselves into a family, this group as an individual must engender an opposite and create an enemy,” einen Gegensatz kreieren und einen Feind erzeugen. The state must produce and reproduce-an enemy. — Gil Anidjar, The Jew, the Arab, 1046
