I WISH the State had the monopoly
The Feds are the State you dumb boomer
pay attention, the discussion is about STATE'S rights
When I refer to “the State” that is what is the govt
After all, any powers not explicitly given to the federal government are assumed to be the power the states and citizens hold respectively.
the State is not the Federal Gov in this context
what 'you refer to' in your head, we cannot know
pay attention to context
The state is the smaller political entity; a region.
For example, Connecticut is a state.
we know this, but the two statements are incompatible
false dichotomy
Mao was woke af
Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.".
"State has monopoly on force" - this is NOT the same usage as 'Pennsylvania is a State"
same word
two different meanings
and we were using the second
this man speaks the truth
Again as political argument the State refers to whoever is in charge as a political entity. Doesn’t mean local or otherwise
that is a false equivalence
no it’s not
and it is at the very core of the issue
libertarians will agree with me on this
wtf
However, we’re talking about the specific legal confines of a state itself. From the constitutional sense, it refers to the states; the specific regions of the country with their own political autonomy.
by your argument, a british citizen would conisder the EU and the UK the same
oh hi im british
both fuction as their 'goverment'
Yes they are political entities with the power projection are they not?
well the UK isnt a state
@SnowPirate67 we would just call that a government.
its a collective of states
the State is the government at large
it’s a loose term
each state has its own devolved parliament here
there isn't enough resolution to even hold a conversation if you don't make the distinction to keep them seperate
Unless if made specific, which, within the context of the constitution, refers to the individual regions that became known as “states.”
