Anti-statism
Anti-statism is any approach to social, economic or political philosophy that rejects statism. An anti-statist is one who opposes intervention by the state into personal, social and economic affairs. In anarchism, this is characterized by a complete rejection of all involuntary hierarchical rulership. In minarchism, the state is viewed as necessary but should be minimized to only basic functions for societal order, such as the provision of courts, law enforcement, and military.
Not to be confused with Anti-authoritarianism.
