Between the two of us, the only statist is the one arguing that companies should be prevented (by the government, presumably) from setting and changing the conditions under which they continue to employ a person.

You are also clearly more than a little unstable.

Classic argument of the statist: anyone disagrees with you, therefore said person is ''unstable''. You'd have fit right in with the former Politburo, laddiebuck.

In a republic (I only state this because it seems either to have eluded you, or you were never informed of it in the first place ... quite likely the latter since you describe yourself as a 'young' ''scholar'', just so given the state of ''education'' in the US over the past few decades), the citizen individually and the citizens generally are sovereign. They grant power to government, as a rule by formal agreement a la the Constitution or the old Roman 12 Tables.

Now, I've already observed that you're (unfortunately) too thick to grasp this principle. How did you evince this? By confusing state authority with a civil action, which is clearly the remedy this dismissed employee should seek. The government (in theory) doesn't decide civil actions; some number of one's fellow citizens do, correct? (That's rhetorical, of course it's correct, sheesh.)

Now, whether or not X number of citizens deciding a civil action, and who are empaneled to do so, have been infused with your particular and evidently self-preferred brand of Trotskyism, well...that's a throw of the dice. I daresay it varies by state, rather widely.
