Sure its not as simple as tax rates or unwinding the state directly, that's why discernment is important.

We're more in a globalist vs nationalist battle today, perhaps even 5GW between great powers (afformentioned Thucydides Trap). 

In that context, the choice is a global state or a localish one, or self-security vs. being a vassal.

Can't fight the next battle until you've won the current one.

It depends what you mean. I'll oppose anyone looking to expand that 20%, whether they're currently in power or not.

I'd say that's more where we differ. I don't perceive anyone near power currently as holding down the 20%. I see them all trying to expand it in various ways.
