There were several good responses to Welfare States R.I.P. The one below from SKull has been slightly edited for spelling and spacing, but otherwise remains as submitted. It is thoughtful and especially insightful. In essence, it is a confirmation of Albert J. Nock’s general observation on government:
 

Taking the State wherever found, striking into its history at any point, one sees no way to differentiate the activities of its founders, administrators and beneficiaries from those of a professional-criminal class

Here is SKull’s commentary:

Good article.

As a European though it`s pretty clear that it`s much more than the welfare state that`s been the problem for the past 150 years. I recently read one of the books of von Treitschke regarding the need for governments to be “absolutely immoral” in the divine pursuit of making the state strong and powerful. No matter how many innocents it had to trample, the government was good if it increased the power of the state.

The German Reich followed the guidelines laid out by scholars like this guy, as well as Fichte, Hegel and Marx until it`s collapse in 1918, and Hitler`s regime added a few more people like Nitzche, Gobineau and Chamberlain to the mix to get a racial mythology going. This is at least a good part of the explanation for why the Nazi state was so systematically criminal.

But when you look at every European government since, and every American government since 1913, it would seem that this is the working principle still. With a few changes, such as an insane focus on “sustainability”, depopulation, destroying the nation states and a limp wristed political correctness, nothing has changed today. Apparently the goal of the current world government structure is to lie, steal and kill as much as possible, and start illegal wars once a year if possible.

No moral arguments penetrate governments, the media or academia. Meanwhile these diseased doctrines and systems of thought are what have shaped the bureaucracy that is at the foundation of the welfare state, and what fuels quackademics and prostitutes everywhere. It is and always has been about social control, not welfare, which is why it hasn`t failed at all but triumphed.

The social structure of the entire west and much of the rest of the world has been permanently damaged if not totally ruined, making us easy prey to fascist criminals from the top and communist criminals from the bottom.
God help us….
