And there you are using a second logical fallacy: begging the question.
It goes like this: since I am defining the terms as me being correct, I am therefore correct. Thus the question is resolved in the premise.Where did I say that?
Your premise is incorrect because your definitions are too limited, as leftist/rightist and statist/anarchist are not the same line. You model is too simplistic to account for variations, such as absolute monarchy or theocracy (right-wing statist) or revolutionary anarchist (left-wing anti-statist).That is your Opinion on the matter, nothing more. I've already addressed that issue, what else do you have?
In your initial post, where you set up terms that were predetermined to support your point.
If you define “leftist” as equal to “statist”, and then propose a scale where it is so, then that is “begging the question”. The problem is, your definition isn’t accurate; it is incomplete.
