Glorification of labor

The glorification of labor, common to fascist, Stalinist and Popular Front/New Deal ideology in the 1930s, was the common ideological thread that mobilized the working class for the new phase of accumulation in the interwar period. This little-studied phenomenon, expressed in the Italian dopolavoro, the Nazi “Kraft durch Freude” campaigns and in the social realist art of the Stalinist school, or in that generated by the American New Deal, was the condensed form of mass consumption which, after 1945, achieved its diffuse form in the mass-consumer ideology of the “affluent society.” (Debord)
