The article analyzes some traits of the relationship between the public policies implemented during the Workers' Party’s administrations between 2003 and 2016, and the constitution of a neoliberal subjectivity among fractions of Brazilian working classes. Such arrangement promoted the idea that social conflict revolves around the opposition between rich and poor, putting aside the individual's relations with class. Meanwhile, “Lulism” favored the development of individualism and entrepreneurship among Brazilian workers. To do so, we will refer to some researches regarding their situation, especially in the outskirts of large Brazilian cities. Besides, we will resort to some observations made by Michel Foucault, since they are helpful to explore those questions.
