Statism -My Definition

A site dedicated to the Nolan Chart has an entry explaining Statism at http://www.nolanchart.com/article1418-what-is-a-statist.html. I thought the entry was slightly informative and largely silly. So I quickly wrote my own definition describing Statism:

Statism is the wielding of power by a consolidation of individuals that are not of the same class, share little in values or epistemology, and would likely kill each other in a tribal only world. Statism is all about big power to do big things like, at the very least, put a bridge across a gorge, and at medium put a rail connection across a large continent, and at best put humans on other planetary objects.
