Hjalmar Branting answered in the newspaper Stormklockan in 1912 the question why he is a socialist. He answered: "Because my feeling revolts against the order of things, which condemns the incomparable majority to remain in the plant and stifle the longing of their best moods".
Reinfeldt wanted to recreate a job politics so that people would only consider the anguish of their most pessimistic moods to be realistic and worthy of them.
On the surface, there are only capitalists, workers and the unemployed in society. If an unemployed person doesn't take the hardest worker's job, isn't he exploiting the worker with the worst job?
Partly. If you don't have a vocational qualification or an academic qualification, I believe that you can make your job offer as widely available as possible.
At the beginning of your career, you may even need to take on the toughest jobs on the market.
But the Alliance wanted to make it an ideal for the entire working life, regardless of how much competence, experience and education a person had, that the unemployed should always minimize their unemployment time by looking for the very toughest, lowest paid job.
Is this solidarity with the employees with the toughest conditions?
No, because that makes the availability of job seekers ever increasing to a limited number of bad jobs. On the one hand, such a job-seeking tendency pushes the most vulnerable from the labor market away from the jobs they might have been able to get if the competition had not been so high. But above all, the increased willingness among employees and the unemployed to imagine ever-worsening working conditions means that the working conditions for everyone, probably especially in the toughest jobs, will become even worse.
If we want a good labor market for everyone, then we must allow a fair amount of freedom especially for those with long experience, academic degrees or other professional training to apply for the job they feel most competent for.
