He recognized that nothing could happen with those who were prosperous or those who were not or with employers or employees, and that Marxism could not be eliminated without first eliminating the arrogant and reactionary liberalism and giving the people a new and yet old attitude. The people heard his brief and clear words. The scales fell from their eyes and they say new light. In this new light all that had seemed opposing, all the seemingly unbridgeable differences, all the apparent deadly enemies, faded away. When you work, you are working for your people.
Work therefore is an honor.
There are no distinctions in labor. The work of a general director has no more inherent value and is not better than the work of a street cleaner. It is not a question of what kind of work is done, whether how the work is done. He who does not work loses honor in the national community. Work is no disgrace, rather work of any kind, whether of the mind or body, is ennobling.
