but it's not really an anarchist thing at all, there's not much to say about it. Just a reality that a lot of anarchists used to get their expenses down to almost nothing and limp along welfare, or just be poor as fuck, depending on how you look at it.

There's not that much fertile ground for discussion here, imo. Only interesting part is that anarchist movements in europe and north america might be more closely tied to the "luxury" of the welfare state than we'd like to admit. If true, it certainly fits with the welfare state as a counter-insurgency measure, or an open bribe from the rich not to revolt.
