  Minarchism
V občanské výchově, minarchism, někdy nazvaný minimální statism nebo malá vláda, je názor, že velikost, role a vliv vlády ve svobodné společnosti by měli být minimální - jen velký dost chránit svobodu každý a každý jednotlivec, bez porušení svobody nějakých jednotlivců sám, tak maximalizovat individuální svobodu.
Někteří věří, že minarchism je inconsitent s vírou liberálnosti a je neslučitelná filozofie.
Ale zastáncové minarchism namítají, že vláda mohla přežít se soukromými dary a vytvořením fondy bez nějaké formy daňového systému whatsoever.

  Roblog » An Introduction to Minarchism
Minarchism originally stemmed from the anarchist movement, and was borne out of many anarchists’; disillusionment with the ideology.
Minarchism was created as a result of the realisation that the state is a “necessary evil” if individual liberties are to be protected and maximised, and the term ‘minarchism’ was coined by the famous anarchist Samuel Edward Konkin III.
Minarchism’s ultimate ends are, as we can see, in keeping with the political, social and economic ideals of most libertarians, and as a result minarchism tends to be classified as a libertarian ideology.

 An introduction to minarchism - Homeland Stupidity   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Minarchism, sometimes known as “minimal statism”;, is a governmental framework that aims to keep government as small as possible and places an emphasis on constrained government power, minimal spending and minimal levels of intervention.
Nozick went on to state that minarchism was the ultimate natural government; he claimed that a system of anarcho-capitalism would inevitably develop into a minarchist system, and so — given a tabula rasa — minarchism is not only needed and justified but in fact inevitable.
The essential ideological underpinnings of minarchism, then, stem from a belief that — whilst the state is indeed evil — a state can be created that is limited enough in scope to be justifiable but powerful enough to protect the liberty of its citizens.

The essay points out that and why both minarchism and anarchism are virtually impossible in contemporary circumstances, but at the level of basic theory, at any rate, the anarchist appears to have the better of it.
The potentially minarchic response is: Well, there’s no real alternative, so let’s just get to work and try to fix it so it works at least tolerably well.
In short: the idea of minarchism is that the ideally good government would literally "govern least" in the sense that all and only the bad guys would be apprehended and dealt with in the right way, and the state wouldn’t dream about stepping over that boundary.

 TF Reviews:  Reply to Dykes and More
Dykes criticizes me for the past year's advertising campaign that trumpeted: "Total Freedom is coming." He is disappointed too that I did not provide a greater dose of autobiography with regard to my own involvement with Rothbardian anarchism, and he argues that the "pre-publicity for the book was thus misleading.
But to say that this book makes no contribution to the discussion over anarchism and minarchism is to exhibit little understanding of its central purpose.
I am surprised that Dykes views my introduction as "condescending" because it is clear that he is not aware of the book's audience.
