As I've said, those 'altruistic' influences were made out of neccesity, not selflessness. If the welfare state wasn't introduced by government, the people would have eventually revolted and created their own government that did. All those benefits and workers rights came as a result of either socialists in office, or reactionaries fearing socialists would get in office.


Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
Winston Churchill
