BTW your (mis)use of the word statist as an implied term of disrespect proves how broadly appropriate my initial challenge is.
You could help readers by defining how and why you see the term statist as a term of disrespect.
A contest of ideas being a logical sequenced dialogue which observers can follow using logic and reason to weigh the merits of the arguments.
Here's the definition:
In political science, statism or etatism (from French état, "state") is the doctrine that the political authority of the state is legitimate to some degree.
Feel free to explain in what way I misused the term.

You have called me a statist in a context strongly suggesting such name calling constitutes an argument credibility and substance.
You cannot see that the definition you provide is in no way justifies such name calling?
It is not a definition that even fits the context you have used it it. It is pure nonsense.
Yes I argue that the state is an important mechanism in economic functioning and therefore (conditionally) legitimate but unless you have demonstrated that you can refute my position on that you have provided no argument at all.
