So you don't like welfare, and you associate it with dictators for some reason, and it will look like democracy but really be something else, and some unspecified drastic action must be taken because after that all opposition will be snuffed.

It should be interesting that you have laid out a set of propositions which could persuade people to overthrow a democracy with violence (after all, it's not a real democracy and after all, if we don't stop it then THEY will snuff US, so we had better act first hadn't we?)

Be careful about who you support, if you build a machine to overthrow the government you might get more than you bargained for from that powerful new machine.

> So you don't like welfare

I don't think that's what he meant. The way I understood it is that by "welfarish" he means "ostensibly benign" as part of projecting a populist image.

I don't know. Some people have real difficulty discerning the difference between welfare, socialism, communism, and dictatorships.

A recent example of this is Egypt.
