| | + | =="The State"== |
| | + | Among conservatives, [[libertarian]]s and [[anarchist]]s, "The State" refers to [[big government]] that derives its power through [[coercion]] via the threat of violence. According to conservative libertarian pundit [[Stefan Molyneux]], "The idea that The State is capable of solving social problems is now viewed with great skepticism - which foretells a coming change. As soon as [[skepticism]] is applied to the State, the State falls, since it fails at everything except increasing its power, and so can only survive on [[propaganda]], which relies on unquestioning faith."<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1919879/bio?ref_=nmbio_ql_dyk_1#quotes Quotes from Stefan on IMDB.com].
