True, the demand for full employment circulated within a whole economy of
statist demands and was modulated in all sort of unpleasant ways - apology
for Stalinism and as key to a moral matrix for judging comrades chief
amongst them. The current discourse of social exclusion, in its turn, is a
pillar of the colonisation by NGOs of anything outside civil society. It is
immensely popular in Portuguese-language discourse. The PT is fixated on it.
So yes, I agree with you that the use of such terminology suggests a bit of
marketing effort... Nevertheless, do you see any possibility of having both
universal access to a livelihood and a universal option to refuse work?
Other than a somewhat contrived irony, what exactly is the problem here?
