statism, stateism
1. the principle of concentrating major political and economic controls in the state.
2. the support of the sovereignty of the state. — statist, n., adj.
As opposed to the sovereignty of the people. Central planners, are statists. They want the state to have all power to run the lives of the citizens.
A lack of statism does not equate to anarchy, fool.
I guess you have some evidence too prove that's true?
Statism is just a rallying cry that means "anything I disagree with". Libertarians would have a state so weak it wouldn't even have the power collect taxes for protecting the country. If I'm wrong, why has no country embraced the philosophy?
Statism is not a "rallying cry" of disagreement. It is, the compass for totalitarianism. The United states initially did not embrace statism, it was rejected to the "night watchmen" levels of protection from aggression, fraud, etc. Favoring individual liberties and sovereinty against state aggressions and power reaches.
I'm certainly not going to entertain the fallacy argument of "why u no embrace liberty if it's true. The US was not built on an all controlling power of state over the people, comrade.
