Every time societies become more statist, standardization becomes the rule and individuals become reduced to mere numbers. Decentralization is undoubtedly its antithesis, because it eliminates the monopoly of information and ends up creating irregular non-hierarchical information channels.
I think that is another sign that statism ends up leading society towards communism, where everyone listens, say, and at the most, think alike.
I don't think societies get statist. Instead I would say that they are destroyed, their area occupied by goverment.
Maybe, but in that case they were destroyed a long time ago and with the approval of many.
My comment was not too well made. I see that whenever state intervines with societys business, society gets destroyed. However we will always have that "corruption", which according to Zizek, made soviet-union survive so long.
Yup and it's what civilization as a whole has been heading toward for quite some time.
