What is Statism?

Post by .Morticia. » Mon Feb 14, 2011 4:00 pm

It seems that a few folk persist in 'misunderstanding' communism and socialism and use the propoganda used by dictators to describe themselves.

One definition of statism , and the one relevant here , shows the difference btw socialism, where the workers own the mens of production, and State Owned Corporatism,ie statism.

Totally different animal.

Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies. ~ Marx

Do you really think it is weakness that yields to temptation? I tell you that there are terrible temptations which it requires strength, strength and courage to yield to. ~ Oscar Wilde
