   From your post:   
   “     
   Here’s the real reason libertarians hate the idea. The welfare state    
   is a check against servility towards the rich. A strong welfare state    
   would give us the power to say Fuck You to our bosses—this is the power    
   to say “I’m gonna work odd jobs for twenty hours a week while I work on    
   my driftwood sculptures and play keyboards in my a chillwave band. And    
   I’ll still be able to go to the doctor and make rent.”    
   “   
      
   A welfare state goes bankrupt. Why? Because ‘us’ say Fuck Your to non-us   
   and play keyboards expecting non-us to pay for your doctor and your rent. How   
   long do you suppose the non-is will resist exploitation? This is why your   
   system can’t function    
   for long. Who the fuck is going to work so you can play? Why should you be the   
   boss?
