Statism is the belief that the civil government (or man via civil government) is the ultimate authority in the earth and as such is the source of law, morality, and righteousness (that which is right and wrong).[1]

This is an example of Statism in Conservapedia:

"The guns and butter economic concept describes the government allocation to defense spending versus social programs."[2][1]

See Talk:Guns or butter.

The guns OR butter debate is between government military spending vs private sector consumer choices. Unlike the Soviet Union, the United States Government DOES NOT produce butter.

See also O'Sullivan's First Law.

Conservapedia needs better enforcement against spamming and trolling, even when it is done by Senior Admin. RobSWWJD? Would he claim 2 gay bathhouses in Russia compared to 300 in America justifies nuclear war? 15:57, June 22, 2026 (EDT)
