I think you're misunderstanding what Federalism is. FEDERALISM is the decentralization of the state apparatus - the idea that instead of one massive central government, you reserve certain powers to for the individual local or regional governments (States, in the US parlance)...which is what I believe the comment you're replying to is calling for. The FEDERAL government is, in the US system, the massive central government, which is what I believe you're railing against.
