What word means "authority of the state over the individual?"

>> No.7095531

authority, control, power, dominion, rule, administration, command, sway, leadership, sovereignty, hegemony

>> No.7095540

I'm writing a political essay. I just want to condense the meaning of the establishments authority over people into one word, if possible.

>> No.7095563

Look up the words authoritarian, totalitarian, fascism, junta, oligarchy, plutocracy, etc.

And toss your fedora folder, kid.

REGARDLESS, THE WORD WOULD BE "STATISM"; IT COMPRISES THAT MEANING IN A GENERAL AND UNIVERSAL MANNER, THE OPPOSITE OF WHICH WOULD BE "ANARCHISM" —"PREVALENCE OF THE INDIVIDUAL OVER THE AUTHORITY OF THE STATE".

Hegemony is a buzzword but close to what you're looking for.

That literally has nothing to do with what he asked. A hegemony is a countires position as a sole power on a global stage. He is asking for a government's relationship to an individual in terms of a power dynamic.
