You are a statist, not a socialist.

You are a statist, not a socialist.

As I reminded you in post 822, "[t]he immediate effect of what you call a "secession" by a state would be to strip American citizens in that state of their American citizenship and of all of their individual Constitutional rights."

"Secessionists" always seem to place what you perceive to be the interests of the "state" above the rights and interests of the "individual." Notwithstanding that fact, those who stick up for individual rights are viewed by you as "statists."

Clearly, it is the "secessionists" who are the real statists.

central_va: "You are a statist, not a socialist."

Webster's definition of "statism" is:

"concentration of economic controls and planning in the hands of a highly centralized government often extending to government ownership of industry."

I've been looking for Mark Levin's definition of statism, and this is as close as I can come.

If you wish to learn BroJoeK's view on "statism", listen to Mark Levin.

So your charge here is false, as is much else that you claim.
