I'm making a stronger argument than that, though. My argument is not about what "governments will want to do" but what "people will want governments to do". The social safety net is *incredibly* popular. Even among the political right, a majority of Republican voters in the United States, support higher taxes on the rich, for example. This sort of belief that most people have anarchistic tendencies, doesn't seem to pass any smell test.
