Statism. This Latter-day Saint political article of faith is foundational. It is a radical departure from the false traditions, coercive institutions and collective mentality of historical mankind. Statist’s of various stripes would have it—the other way around. Statists give primacy to the State over Man, to the Collective over the Individual. Collectivism is Lucifer's version of mass salvation. Collectivism not only ignores the individual, but oppresses and tyrannizes the individual through force.
