"#Statism" is basically a measurement of how much #control you think a #government should have over its #people. If you love #rules and #regulations and forcing others to do certain things or not do certain things, you fall to the high end of this scale (rightward).

If you're a John #Varley-style #Heinleiner, and think everyone should be independent and only engage in entirely voluntary transactions, you fall to the low, leftward end of that scale.
