You don't really give off much of an air seriousness with this stuff. Do you want to let the welfare state die, or are you just being provocative? Should attempts to kill off the welfare state be opposed, or does it not make enough of a difference to care? You seem to want to take a let-it-die position without actually taking responsibility for that position. Is this what passes for radical chic these days?
