State - of or relating to the central civil government or authority.

And there was no state or central authority, only a government

The Government was the central authority

Therefore making it a state

<a:superfastthink:530303264617660416>

Local governments, again, should not exist at all in any form

Only the national Government

The state is a permanent aspect, governments are not permanent

Elaborate

A nation state is designed to remain in place whilst governments are temporary, whilst states are all encompassing

you just repeated your statement with more words

The nation is a silly concept, it's vague and created by power-hungry Enlihgtenment/post-Bourbon Overthrow leaders to justify the unjust

^

Local governance all the way

What humans are made for is to follow community bonds, based on real commonalities, not le same language and lame anthem

the nation and the state are two different things

Yes they are

No

So under your system Maksim, could I own a private factory and profit assuming I wasn't against the national interests?

The state is what enforces the nation. Abolish the nation and you have no state, and vice versa

Yea agree

Correct

@21ooAB You could, assuming you priced fair and did not mistreat your employees

Seems fine to me.

the people are the nation, hence things like national spirit, or for example Korea is considered one nation as it is a similar people with historic ties to each other, but yet they have 2 states.

IMO, I think many of the rich tend to be...subversive

The ultra rich at least

Eat the rich

Anyway, the reason why fascism / totalitarian ideologies are doomed to fail, is because they don't acknowledge the importance of immediate bonds

What about Austrofascism @ʙɪɢ βɵʂʂ 𠄩

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austrofascism

still cringe

@ʙɪɢ βɵʂʂ 𠄩 That's not why any fascist system collapsed but ok

For example, the region of Europe we refer to as Germany was a rich tapestry of local cultures and systems that worked well enough for them, and any attempt to create a "german" nationalism, such as the Nazis, is basically built on a fantasy

And fascism is cringe

@ʙɪɢ βɵʂʂ 𠄩 What?

German nationalism has been a thing since it was United

no one tell him about Bismarck

And even before, but no one has enough power to unite it

Lol exactly

Until Bismarck
