Any amount of belief in governing others with "laws" is statism. There can be more or less, obviously, but even "slightly statist" is still statist. I'm not saying they are wrong, just that I don't believe there's any excuse for it, and I won't do it.

I know a lot of "libertarians" who only have one tiny "but"- and they are statists who are almost libertarian. If this is what a person truly believes, why do they get so upset at having it noticed by others? Unless, deep down, they know they are wrong for protecting that one favored nodule of cancer.
