The idea of a "work ethic" (a contradiction in terms if there ever was one!) is so pervasive in most people's minds that they label people who have appropriate capitalist values (i.e., work is a competition between the boss and worker; each attempts to maximize value for minimal cost) by their political enemies.
- blaze33 12y agoOf course there's going to be conflicts when people have "appropriate" values while their "enemies" have "pervasive" ones.
- tedks 12y agoPervasive means "common". I'm not sure if this is what you meant (it does sound like "perverse" and if you're not a native english speaker I can see how the mistake could be made). But of course your statement is correct either way. Interesting how both sides see themselves as lone warriors against a sea of villainy.
