Look. Throughout all of human history up until 1936 there was no such thing as welfare.

False premise. Of course we have had welfare. Every society has welfare. This anarchy idea is full of nonsensical realities.

From Dictionary.com: "Welfare 3a: Financial or other aid provided, especially by the government, to people in need."

What financial or other aid did the government provide prior to AFDC? And why have families fallen apart since 1950? Oh, I know. Fathers suddenly took it into their heads to abandon their children, as they had never done before in history. Or maybe it wasn't fathers. Perhaps it was those "nonsensical realists" - the anarchists?
