Not to be confused with Anti-authoritarianism.
Anti-statism is any approach to social, economic or political philosophy that rejects statism. An anti-statist is one who opposes intervention by the state into personal, social and economic affairs.[1] In anarchism, this is characterized by a complete rejection of all involuntary hierarchical rulership.[2] In minarchism, the state is viewed as necessary but should be minimized to only basic functions for societal order, such as the provision of courts, law enforcement, and military.
