It's arguing that sustained full employment is politically impossible under capitalism unless the state crushes labor. The ruling class just won't tolerate it for long. Places where full employment was previously tolerated, even encouraged - like Sweden during the high days of Soc Dem - no longer subscribe to the doctrine.
