Undoubtedly, a major political, economic, or terrorist explosion that destroys the institution of the nation-state in many places around the world, which is quite possible under the current tendencies, would serve the oligarchy's twin objectives, depopulation and recolonialization.  The oligarchy plays its anarchy game-card, because its depopulation for recolonialization objective is impossible to achieve under conditions of intelligent order and political-economic stability.  Whatever investment advise causes a people to expect financial gains to be derived from anarchy, is but an invitation not to rock the boat before it sinks.  It creates blindness and misbased trust, rather than political alertness.  The need for today, more than ever before, is for political alertness.  Whatever belittles the real face of anarchy, that makes it look as if it were something almost benign that a sophisticated person can certainly live with, desensitizes consciousness against the real thing and against the responsibility of every citizen to protect the institution of the nation-state on which civilization depends.

Most financial newsletter writers agree that the welfare state is on its way out, as most governments are financially dead.  It would be well if the people of the western nations paid heed to this obvious fact, and took the appropriate actions to protect whatever still functions, and to rebuilt what has been ruthlessly torn down.  Unfortunately, this is not how the report writers interpret what they see.  By many of them, the impending end of the welfare state is received with a note of celebration.

Such gloating interpretations hide the fact that the welfare state is not a natural phenomenon, but is itself merely a pre-anarchy stage phenomenon, brought about through free-trade policies, through deindustrialization, and through financial looting, which together force the collapse of the development processes of the nations.  The welfare state results from collapse in education, engineering, production, and the elimination of industrial support services, which collapse has the double effect of wiping out the tax base of any nation so involved, thereby creating an infinite sink for welfare funds for as long as funds can be found.  That this process cannot be maintained for long, without everything collapsing into anarchy, is self-evident.  Nor can the severest conservative measures reverse this trend.  Nothing can reverse the trend towards anarchy, except the reversal of the underlying axioms that drive the collapse towards anarchy.

This is not an attack on the welfare-sate, of course.  Social support services are essential in any modern state.  It is essential for any government to provide what is necessary to keep the population alive and productive.  This is the fundamental function of the state, by which the people of a nation provide for themselves the common infrastructures that are necessary to realize and develop the human potential.  The idea of applying universal welfare as a cure for negative development, does not fall into this category, but is a misapplication of the welfare principle, and a highly destructive one at that.  This type of welfare may very well have been promoted for its inherent destructive potential.  The idea of applying welfare to cover up the effects of fundamental errors, is a double edged sword that opens the path to murderous conservatism which has the effect of preventing the real solution, namely development, industrialization, and protection of industries.

The welfare-sate principle is doubly cutting in that it creates apathy towards the steps necessary for fixing the real problem, thereby delaying the onset of anarchy until its effect is infinitely more pronounced and explosive.  Any need for welfare demands should be viewed with alarm, not because of the costs, but because of the unrealized human potential, the loss of the society's inner wealth for uplifting civilization.  The outcome of conservatism (the opposite of development) which is tightly interlocked with welfare demands, is always anarchy.  This result cannot be held back unless the underlying problem is repaired and the natural development of mankind is put back on track.
