"State organized" social security IS a social network / safety net. Though it might not feel like one. I may be misreading this but your wording - "State organized" social security - sounds as if it's some kind of alien institution imposed on us by martians. I see it more like a system created by all of us through a social democratic process.

As opposed to actual neighbours, co-workers, family and fellow union members with whom one has to collaborate (socially interact) to help to get help.
