What is the core argument behind the political slogan, "The state is not your guardian", and what are its immediate implications for the German political landscape?

The state is not your guardian" is a slogan used by a politically organized liberal party in Germany. Philosopher Wolfgang Kersting, who passed away recently at age 78, articulated the ideas behind this slogan. His work, particularly his critique of the welfare state, heavily influenced this political movement.
