Under statism, the means of production are owned or controlled by the state. Statists will you use various terms to make it sound acceptable to the masses. For instance: society, community, and anything else they come up with. Any word they use still means they desire to substitute private ownership for violence. That’s what statism is, violence. They change definitions based on what suits them.
This is always done to avoid people from recognizing it’s violence. Hiding behind fictitious definitions won’t change what it actually is. They are trying to cross the abyss from statism to freedom. Essentially, they are trying to prove the unprovable. They will be eaten by the leviathan. The essence of the statist program doesn’t change. The statist is advocating violence and fictitious meanings don’t change reality.
It doesn’t matter what fictitious meaning they use for words. It will temporarily gain uninformed supporters. This is violence disguised as style. They must use terms that don’t have mixed feelings. They always use terms that garner the widest support for their programs. The choice in words doesn’t have any importance other than gaining support for violence. They wouldn’t do this if violence already had support.
The practical matter is important. It’s a program of violence where some are superior to many. It’s a secret society formed in broad daylight. Some must control the apparatus of violence and it won’t be you. There is a supreme authority and all else are its subjects. This supreme authority abolishes debate and invents crimes. Freedom will vanish into a pseudo-scientific imagination of the so-called crazies.
From the start, we must point out these definitions change frequently and identify them correctly. To use words how they define them is to fall into their trap. Think of the word “liberal.” It’s now used as a synonym for socialists—advocates of violence. Statism is a paradise for parasites. Expansion is the permanent aim, and they disguise this with definitions. We must point out the emperor has no clothes.
