http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statism
"In political science, statism (French: étatisme) is the belief that the state should control either economic or social policy, or both, to some degree.[1][2][3][4] Statism is effectively the opposite of anarchism.[1][2][3][4] Statism can take many forms from minarchism to totalitarianism. Minarchists prefer a minimal or night-watchman state to protect people from aggression, theft, breach of contract, and fraud with military, police, and courts.[5][6][7][8] Some may also include fire departments, prisons, and other functions.[5][6][7][8] Welfare state adepts and other such options make up more statist territory of the scale of statism.[9][10] Totalitarians prefer a maximum or all-encompassing state.[11][12][13][14][15]"

Edit: So yes, even minarchists may qualify as "statists" to some degree. Perhaps you could flip the coin and say that a something less than totalitarian has an anarchist streak in them, I don't know. So the argument of a minarchist would be that a
little bit of statism isn't a bad thing, or that it's a necessary evil. I believe that no evil is ever necessary, or that even when it seems necessary to reach a certain goal, the necessity doesn't justify it, which is why I don't subscribe to minarchy. That is beside the point, though... The point is that, while calling you a statist may be over-done and intended with malice or as an insult, it technically is correct. You're just a statist "to some degree." It may be a small degree.
