anarcho-statists

A (usually) intentionally ironic combination of the terms "anarchism" and "statism", attributed to Dr Roderick Long of the University of North Carolina. The idea is to imply the hypocrisy of anarchism by noting how anarchists in power invariably turn to totalitarian methods to enforce their authority. A notable use of the term is in the essay "The Anarcho-Statists of Spain" by Bryan Caplan.
"...the Anarchists preferred to become another predictive success of Bakunin's theory; they collaborated with some governments, established others on their own, and in each case proved themselves to be at least as oppressive as other governing classes throughout history. This is why I call the Spanish Anarchists 'anarcho-statists.' "

united states

Although a country bloated on consumer economy and Big Mac's, the United States of America is diverse, free, and varied in ecosystems and landscapes. People of other nations seem to convienently forget that the USA hands out millions of dollars (and probably more) to charities, relief efforts, foreign aid, and education, among other things. The USA has faults, like *every other country in the entire world*. But it seems to me the downtrodden people sneaking into America are biting their tongues...

The most wicked, awful, and horrible country in the history of the world.

It is an imperialist nation that has been fucking over the middle east for decades, and it's own natives and minority populations for decades (via genocide, unjust laws, etc). It also had a hate boner for communism
