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.' "

A polemical term used to describe people from the United States of America. For historic and cultural reasons, people from the States refer to themselves as "Americans", whereas in all of Latin America, the word "américano" refers to anyone from the Americas. Therefore Latin Americans refer to people from the States as "estadounidenses" (United Statians) rather than "americanos".
Due to Americans obliviousness of this issue of transcendence in Latin America, a Chilean group has even written a song that describes American mentality when thinking of Latin America. It is entitled: “Latin America is a town south of the United States.”
Many Latin Americans would like to change the English term "American" to "United Statian" and the word "American" to refer of all people from the Americas (North, South and Central). It is an issue heatedly discussed in many forums on the internet.

Nick: Why do Latin Americans want to call us United Statians?
Jen: I think they´ve got a bit of an inferiority complex, I´ve never had a Canadian challenge my definition of "American".

Get the metro station mug.An average middle school that’s run by a retarded school district. It’s populated by basic white girls and annoying headass fuck boys that sustain life with fruit roll-ups and pizza. The only advantage of going to Barrington Station Middle School as opposed to Barrington Prairie Middle School is that there are way less horse girls.
