Reader’s Comment of the Day: Destroy the socialist welfare state and start again

January 20, 2015

In reply to, ‘Tamara Chabe: Today’s archbishops worship the State not the Word of God’, pyotr leflegin wrote:

There can be little doubt that the welfare state has become the de facto ‘state’ and is quite beyond being repaired by tinkering at the edges. The entire thing has become an enormous black hole from which nothing can escape, and the NHS, the no hope society, is at its core.

The truth is that the ideas of the days just following WW2 are no longer fit for purpose. It may sound Trotskyist, but the only way forward is to smash the existing edifice and rebuild it — from the bottom up.

Thank you for a sound argument, Tamara.
