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.
False premise to assume that the state is going to pay them anyway
No, it is a true premise. They are already on the dole.
And mixing (nominally?) private business and state in that fashion would be a return to fascism.
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.
You’re not getting it as far as the “uncomfortable in their poverty” principle. That was something that Benjamin Franklin put forth as the means to spur people out of their poverty. What societies such as these in the EU are doing (and of course our own so-called “Great Society”) is the very opposite. And the Brandenburg labor minister already acknowledged that there are enough dole recipients that would not take a job of their own free will.
