etatism
Definitions
Synonym of statism, sometimes (derogatory) with specific distinctions derived from Mises's political theories.
Examples
“Etatism is inherently oppressive and expansionist, breeding monism, intolerance, and hostility.”
“The right and true state, under etatism, is the state in which I or my friends, speaking my language and sharing my opinions, are supreme. All other states are spurious. One cannot deny⟳ that they too exist⟳ in this imperfect world. But they are enemies of my state, of the only righteous state, even if this state does not yet exist⟳ outside of my dreams and wishes.”
