A strawman epithet used to attack rational people who understand the value of government in functional society. Often uttered by people who claim to be anti-collectivist but mindlessly fall into herd mentality because they lack the ability to think independently.
"I tried to calmly explain to him how government funded programs make technological progress possible, and he replied with 'OMGUSTATISTPIG'. There's no use in reasoning with people who don't believe in reason, I guess."

A term created by Ayn Rand. ( one of the only things she did unbiasedly and honestly.) A person who worships or shows unnatural devotion to the state, be it a country or city or literally a state (indirectly or directly it does not matter, consciously or subconsciously both are possible.) An example would be someone who speaks as though the law defines right and wrong, simply "because". To elaborate- believing the law defines right or wrong because it was made by the state is an example. For whatever reason, there are many people like this guilty of these tendencies. Consciously and subconsciously people can act and be statist or show beliefs in statism. Another example could be someone who would follow a order from a state official (meaning government official -and/or someone who works for the state) blindly just "because". For whatever reason, if it's a blind reason like because the state is right or the state is like God "you must obey". If you were to say, do something a cop commanded in fear for your life, that is not statist, but if u were to blindly listen and follow, that is statist.
Guy 1: stealing is always wrong! The law says so!
Guy 2: you sound like a statist. Your devotion is the same as those that would run into a building with bombs on them because they believed some government or religious power or entity told them to.

Not a thing.
Something that doesn't exist.
A word that libertarians and anarcho-capitalists invented to conceal how stupid they are.

Rational Human: Here is a solution to a problem the world faces that doesn't involve collapsing society, descending into cannibalistic anarchy, and giving all our money to rich people so they can buy more cocaine.
