Death metal is best viewed "as art,"... far more violent art can be found at the Vatican..." ~George Fisher

“Suspension of Statism” is a variation on the literary term “Suspension of Disbelief”. Suspension of statism is the admission some anarchists must make to enjoy a film or other work of art which glorifies the violence of the state.

Where one would have to provisionally suspend one’s dusbelief in hyperdrive, lightsabers, and the force to watch and enjoy Star Wars, one would have to suspend one’s disbelief in the authority of the state in a similar manner in order to enjoy a movie such as any of the Bond films.

If you ignore the statism, the Avengers is a really fun movie to watch.
