...socialism, anarchism, and libertarian socialism that involve far less statism than corporate capitalism. "Trump is a socialist" is Blue MAGA bullshit of the same ilk as "Agent Krasnov."

It’s also revealing a mostly impoverished understanding of the nazi form of corporate statism with the form of party state rule done under the Soviet. The attempt to conflate through translation of a Nazi state policy/concept is pretty funny lol.

Sometimes I feel like I’m getting pretty far into my anti statism or state-wary ideological bag and then someone says “seize data centers and turn them into book storage so we can nationalize inter library loan” and I go all sickos.gif

Statism is one of the enemies of the development of society, innovation, and business.

There is no socialism, capitalism, fascism, communism, monarchy, theocracy, etc. There is only statism.

Push individualism far enough and society splits into a few gorillas who can fight alone and a majority of sheep who can't. Only a state can support that many sheep lined up in a row. That's why people keep leaning back toward statism. https://en.clazytech.com/2021/04/401/
Individualism and statism can coexist because they depend on each other

Thanks for the link. At first glance, it looks in line with Bakunin's critical comments on Proudhon in statism and anarchy and elsewhere eg calling him a metaphysician and an idealist.

Yeah, all the blue state tax dollars are obviously killing the farmers. And a functional FTC that is trying to regulate the monopolies that swallow up all the family farms is Democrat nanny statism

Hmm, maybe there is some similarity between two historically expansionist powers that grew by steamrolling over their native populations. Maybe you can't fight one mafia-state with another mafia-state, but by trying to undo mafia-statism itself, regardless of team or color.

"cooperatives are the means through which an economy in service of these principles – communal, ecological, feminist – might be built... they challenge not just economic exploitation but also the patriarchy, racism, colonialism and statism entwined with capitalism."

I dunno, I think anarchists of a certain variety are an important part of the ecosystem, necessary to prevent growth of caremare nanny statism (SWERFs, TERFs, other paternalistic "you'll thank me when you're older" brained dipshit transplant parent wannabees in positions of formal authority) but >

I suppose he may be talking about public procurement law (which Burnham obviously does want to apply in the most "pro UK social value" way he can), but that's really about something like economic nationalism or patriotism, rather than "statism".

[anarchism, pol]

years waiting for an explaination on how exactly someone is going to "*just* gain power and just throw out anarchism"

i genuinely want to know so i can just do that and throw out statism instead; since its apparently so easy

I don't think all anarchists believe in US imperialism especially when it's the most naked expression of statism in this world.

Color me non-shocked the right larping as left campist gets pissed off at coherent anti-authoritarians who are going to straight to work in dismantling what remains of nation-statism after it collapses.
October 28, 2026 at 10:21 PM
there was an obscure sect of anarchists who broke away from traditional anarchist anti-statism and began viewing the state as an institution that is somehow compatible with anarchic goals, they had a fair bit of influence on mussolini and fascism

After WWIII is over, can we PLEASE not keep nation-statism around and get rid of it completely to ensure WWIV doesn't happen?

Electorialism isn't democracy.

That "compromising" they did was just textbook authoritarianism done to maintain nation-statism.

Not only did that compromising assist the rise of fascists but prohibited aggressive anti-fascism needed to stop it.

That's why they earned the name "social fascists."

We are seriously still calling campists "the left" rather than bald faced right-wing bootlicker liars who attempt to pass themselves off as leftists?

If you support statism, borders and centralized policing, you're out of the club where being "the left" goes as the left starts at opposing all that.

Between checking out the neat ol' castles and 221B Baker Street, there's honestly not much incentive for me to travel over to Britain right now.

Cause, holy shit, statism is collapsing really badly over there right now and I'm not hard up to go into that burning house.

"What, actually, is the difference between communism and fascism? Both are forms of statism, authoritarianism. The only difference between Stalin’s communism and Mussolini’s fascism is an insignificant detail in organizational structure."

My God, Badenoch is *such* a petulant child. Four milliseconds' thought would have alerted her to the risk of accidentally espousing Nanny Statism. But why think when you can just shoot your mouth off?

Religion: “Reality cannot exist without a God”

Statism: “Society can’t exist without the state”

Statism is a religions, the most popular and most fanatical of them all.

To call yourself an “atheist” while being a religious zealot of “the State” is peak schizophrenia.

Anti-statism challenges a governing apparatus that stands above the population, while communalism gives necessary government a democratic form.
