	Statolatry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Statolatry, which combines idolatry with the state, first appeared in Giovanni Gentile's Doctrine of Fascism, published in 1931 under Mussolini's name.
		Statolatry is literally worship of the State analogous to idolatry as worship of idols.
		It asserts that the glorification and aggrandizement of 'State' or 'Nation' is the object of all legitimate human aspiration at the expense of all else, including personal welfare and independent thought.

	Statism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Conversely, it is possible to have a strong central state which does not implement any policy that may be regarded as collectivist.
		On another note, Fascist Italy openly espoused statism as its centerpiece, and it based its ideology around a positive conception of an absolute state to such a degree that the system of Italian Fascism was even accused of statolatry.
		Some opponents of statism argue that state intervention restricts individual freedom, and that this is immoral.

	Mises Vindicated
		In this country, we have never been subjected to full-blown socialism, but statolatry has still taken a dreadful toll: a spastic economy, a perverted culture, a swelling underclass, a declining standard of living, and a monstrous government.
		As the freedom revolution leapt from country to country in Eastern Europe, some leftists claimed – as they whistled past their own graveyard – that the people were repudiating Stalinism, not Marxism.
		Our job is to overthrow the idol of statolatry, and install in its place respect for the free market, for individual liberty, for private property, and for sound money.

	What Would Convince You That You Live Under A Protection Racket? by Benjamin Marks

		I do agree that the majority of AM programming hosts meekly-vehemently support a somewhat statolatry, and it is disturbing the quick shift in the attitude from Clinton to Bush.
		Savage take somewhat of a confusing stance because he says that if a Dem was in office, the conservatives would rip him apart because of the big spending, expansion of government and new laws that still haven't been decided as constitutional.

	Fascism www.wikipedia.org
		In contrast, Mussolini's fascism held that cultural factors existed to serve the state, and that it wasn't necessarily in the state's interest to serve or engineer any of these particulars within its sphere.
		The only purpose of government under fascism proper was to uphold the state as supreme above all else, and for these reasons it can be said to have been a governmental statolatry.
		While Nazism was a metapolitical ideology, seeing both party and government as a means to achieve an ideal condition of its people, fascism was a squarely anti-socialist form of statism that existed as an end in and of itself.

		Many of the speakers addressed, in some fashion or another, the need to "rethink" Marxism in light of recent historical developments and they stressed the value of Gramsci's work as a major theoretical and critical resource for undertaking this urgent task.
		Tosel began by alluding to the crisis of Soviet socialism, which had been marked, he said, by power gathered entirely in a centralized leadership structure acting in the name of Marxism-Leninism but actually displaying a form of statolatry.
		He dwelt on Gramsci's reflections on consent and hegemony, and underlined the centrality of Gramsci's analysis of civil society.

	Messy Messianism - by Benjamin Marks
		I submit that there is a third religion that most people fail to take into account in their analyses of Israel: Statolatry, or the worship of the State.
		As I have said elsewhere, those who support the State – any State – are religious rather than rational in their attitude towards it.
		In biblical times when the Jews appointed a king so that they could say, "We got a king like everyone else," they were not trying to be Jewish.

	State vs Country, by John Markley -- anti-state.com
		He seems to consider all patriots – he does not seem to allow any room for exceptions – to be mindless, unthinking, intolerant of disagreement, and amoral.
		His anger is certainly just, for the unthinking statolatry of many people since September 11th has been an appalling and shameful display.
		However, by accepting the statist definition of patriotism, he has missed the possibility of an alternative.

	THe Bolsheviks, The Civil War, and "Red Fascism"
		It is clear that the French revolution, and in particular the Jacobins (Danton, Robespierre) served as a model for the Bolsheviks in 1917.
		Yet the French revolution was a bourgeois revolution, and in the hands of the Jacobins was dominated by a capitalist version of the statolatry that in a crucial sense made it the heir, the continuator, the perfector and not the gravedigger of the ancien régime.
		Indeed, socialists were always of two minds about the heritage of the French revolution insofar as it constituted a model for the working class in capitalist society.

	EXISTENCE IS IDENTITY :: Statolatry
		The frauds engineering this abomination should just cultivate some decency and go ahead with the erection of a Murray Rothbard Institute—where their ideas rightfully belong.
		What makes men voluntarily submit to tyranny is a puzzling phenomenon, and I don’t believe the mere threat of physical force—though and important focator—is a full and adequate explanation.
		The very fact that there are intolerant governments and political parties intent upon outlawing and exterminating dissenters, is a proof of the excellence of reason.

		It wasn't the stock market crash of 1929 that doomed the decade, but (argues this author) governments' responses to it that engendered 'The Dark Valley' of the 1930s, particularly by the middle of the decade.
