Care is the fundamental essence of our being. That means: It is about our being. And that means according to the previous: It is about our determination in the threefold sense. Care is in itself care of the determination. Care means: The essence of Dasein is of such a kind that, exposed in the manifest beings, it remains transferred to the inevitability of being.
Opened binding in that which is inevitable means freedom. Care is, as such, care of the freedom of the historical self-being. Freedom is not the independence of doing and letting, but carrying through the inevitability of being, taking over the historical being in the knowing will, reforming of the inevitability of being into the dominance of a structured order of a Volk. Care of freedom of the historical being [Seins] is in itself empowering of the power of the State as the essential- jointure of an historical mission.
e) The State as the historical being of a Volk
Because the being of the historical Dasein of the human being is grounded in temporality, that is, [in] care, therefore, the State is essentially necessary—the State, not as an abstract, and not [as] derived from a right [that is] invented and relative to a timeless human nature that is in itself, but the State as the law of the essence of historical being, by virtue of whose decree the Volk first secures for itself historical duration, that is, the preservation of their mission and the struggle over its mandate. The State is the historical being of the Volk.
The Volk is neither that spongy and jelly-like sentimentalism, as how it is today offered around often in a prosy manner, nor is the State only the present shut down form of organization, as it were, of a society. The State is only insofar and as long as the carrying out of the will of rule happens, which originates from mission and mandate and, conversely, becomes labor and work. The human being, the Volk, time, history, being, the State—those are no abstracted concepts as objects for definition exercises, but the essential relationship is always an historical one, however, that means, self-deciding that futurally-has been.
All overcoming of the genuine and non-genuine tradition must [go] in the crucible of the critique of historical resoluteness. That applies last but not least to the title that shall characterize the formation of our historical being, of"socialism." It means no mere changing of the economic mentality; it does not mean a dreary egalitarianism and glorification
