talkpoliticsHi guys! As the titular Monthly-topic announcer is a bit offline these days, it's my pleasure to present the result from last month's poll for a Monthly Topic:
Big Government: The Power Grab
Oops! Following "Money in Politics", now this is as controversial as controversial goes.
Some details, like you need any:
- Forms of government.
- Forms of statism: Kemalism, Leninism, state capitalism, etc.
- Bureaucracy gone rogue.
- Statism and the nanny state.
- Libertarianism and the idea of a limited government.
- Inefficient and dysfunctional government institutions.
- The clash: federal power vs state rights.
- Intransparency and lack of accountability in government.
- The system of checks and balances.
- The welfare state, social nets, and their abuse.
- Cost and benefit of big government.
- Government as a guarantor for civil rights and social justice.
- The police state: universal surveillance in the name of security.
- Mixed economy and welfare capitalism
- Anarchism, technocracy and other utopian alternatives to big government.
And the poll for the August monthly topic:
[Poll #1921895]
