Theological Canon of the Welfare-Warfare State

A Listmania! list by anarchteacher (United States)
The list author says: "The internationally distinguished economist and historian Murray N. Rothbard first used the term 'the welfare-warfare state' in his brilliant essay, "The Great Society: A Libertarian Critique," in Marvin E. Gettleman & David Mermelstein, ed., The Great Society Reader: The Failure of American Liberalism, 1967. This is one of three crucial articles by Rothbard which defines and outlines this important concept describing our society today and how it became that way. The other two articles are: "Origins of the Welfare State in America," and "World War I as Fulfillment: Power and the Intellectuals." All three of these exceptional essays can be found online.

Intellectuals and politicans were drawn to Progressivism by the same elitist positivism that drew them to other "social control" rationalizations; committment to the explanatory power of scientific social inquiry to get at the root causes of social and economic problems; the legitimacy of coercive social control, deriving from a holist conception of society as prior to and greater than the sum of its constituent individuals; and the efficacy of elitist social control via expert management of the state apparatus."

1.  Imperialism and Social Reform: English Social-Imperial Thought, 1895-1914 (Modern Revivals in Social History Series) by Bernard Semmel
The list author says:
  "The satanic virus of "Social Imperialism" or "Progressivism" is spawn and let loose upon the world.  In particular note the pivotal role of the Fabian Society and race imperialist Viscount Alfred Milner, the force behind the Round Table movement to consolidate the British Empire (see Carroll Quigley's Tragedy and Hope, and The Anglo-American Establishment: From Rhodes to Cliveden)."

Eugenics legislation promoting genocide came with the rise of the welfare-warfare state."
