My point is that I do not believe that "statism" is always a negative. In fact, in a time like today, and in the time of the great depression, it is the only way out
However, you seem to have rejected the idea that statism, while relating only to "government" in the past, has now extended to Corporate statism,. . and since the corporations are basically in charge of the government and have been for at least 10 years, maybe even 20, what you see as statism is better defined, in my opinion, as "corporate statism."
You also didn't address my pointing out that while progressive may be more incline to engage in "economic statism," the conservative have a special liking for "social statism."
I do appreciate your willingness to discuss without insults, though! Thank you.
I also want to mention that, as a relative new comer to THIS forum, I have never read the word "statism" in any post. So when it appeared in not one but two posts, after I heard it on Fox News a day before, it seemed a strange coincidence.
However, I recognize that I have not explore the archive to see what all of you had been talking about for the last 3 years!
I also resent the fact that some in this forum seem to believe that being a new comer is some sort of disease and qualifies one for third grade citizenship.
This is childish and uncalled for. Again, I thank you for not engaging in that kind of misguided "elitism."
