Uncritical understanding of the notion of nation-state in Indonesia has led a discredit to ethno-nationalism, which essentially is the primary form of nationalism in favour of the secondary form of nationalism. The former refers to a shared imagination of being a member of ethnic group, and the later refers to a shared feeling of being a citizen of the state.

This paper found that there is a similarihy between these two scholars on the certain stage of state origin namely the State of nature, a stage before the existence of state. Hobbes describes this stage as homo hoinoni lupus. The holy book Artasastra, written by Knit tilya has a similar content. Kau tilya used fish life as a metaphor, and calls his theory as the fish law, to describe the state of nature as "the small fishes are eaten by the bigger one", to argue the state of nature.
