Goes against the “uncomfortable in their poverty” principle. False premise to assume that the state is going to pay them anyway; slippery slope.

And mixing (nominally?) private business and state in that fashion would be a return to fascism.

Except they aren't uncomfortable. They are provided with food, shelter and walking around money. But maybe not as much as they would like. Which is what would motivate them to take a job that would provide them with more. It does not motive them to take a job that will provide them with the same or less.

No, it is a true premise. They are already on the dole.

It is already so mixed. Has been for a number of decades. And if that is your idea of fascism then the entire EU is Fascist. Hmmmm... come to think of it you might be right as far as that goes.
