When are statists ideas good?

[Dr.Who]

Give us an example of a statist government or a statist idea that worked out for the good. And by statist I don't merely mean the absence of a weak government but I do mean a government that controls large portions of the economy or life of its citizens.

One might say the same about Lincoln.

But is it the statism that permitted the unity or was it merely strength? Was it necessary for Tito to claim ownership over the lives and labors of men or could he have accomplished unity through the exercise of justice?

no its all about force, same as it ever was. and thanks for framing Lincoln in the same light as Tito, Stalin and the rest, he was the first to act on marxist practices.
