    Is it supposed to follow that the only way to get social welfare is to attempt to overthrow the capital class? I’m not sure that it does.

      Social welfare isn’t the goal, the goal is a society that doesn’t need it because they are earning the value of what they produce.

        I don’t agree that the value of a human being is that which they produce. The society I want recognizes that human beings are inherently worthy of dignity, necessities, and basic comfort. The idea that any compassionate society will no longer need social welfare is pants-on-head “privileged”.
