A note about when I said people should 'broadly be responsible for themselves' - I think the state has a responsibility to provide good education and healthcare but beyond that one should have to work (and with) for what they've got*. That's not to say that privilege and systematic oppression doesn't exist, but I don't think the state has control over that besides providing equitable education+healthcare.
(* huge exception for the disabled and the elderly, the state should support them)
