The welfare state, warfare state, and corporate state are of a piece. The government interventions needed to assist well-connected economic interests and to carry out world hegemony create permanent structural economic problems and hardships for the most vulnerable in society. To buy off the victims and reduce the chance of civil strife, the power elite builds an intrusive welfare bureaucracy designed to toss crumbs to the trapped population. In other words, the welfare state is a mechanism of social control made necessary by the corporate-welfare/warfare state.

Indeed. The modern welfare state was created by 19th century warfare state actor Otto Von Bismark. Too keep European aristocracy from being murdered by their serfs and pawns. A profoundly reactionary policy. Yet most in the US and UK think it socialist.
