joepinetree posted:Yeah. But the research I am talking about is international in scope. The key defining aspect of the expansion of the welfare state was not the election of social democrats, but the threat of communist victory. In places like West Germany and France a lot of the welfare state expansions were done by center right christian democratic parties, and the real deciding factor there was if there was a "threat" of communism becoming popular. that’s interesting do you remember any links or titles? I also am not sure if there is a lot of research on it but it’s also interesting that the countries with the strongest safety net are also generally the most racially homogeneous which I’ve wondered if it’s by design or just a coincidence of where the prominent “welfare states” are (basically Scandinavia)

Milo and POTUS posted:The term welfare state seems loaded to hell for anyone else? yeah it is loaded it’s how Americans refer to them and Americans would gladly sacrifice 100,000 minorities rather than reduce the corporate tax rate 1%. do other countries use the term?
