And in this context, "state" and "government" are synonymous?

[-] livus@kbin.social 4 points 9 months ago

@etuomaala normally, yes.

If a word has more than one meaning but one of the meanings is a synonym for the subject which is being talked about, it's a safe bet that this is the intended meaning in that context.

I think maybe a dictionary might be better here than just a translator.
