    It’s the bullshit of hard work will result in success and money.

    That’s funny, because it’s not the liberal leaning folks who glorify the hard labor.

        Communists and fascist are the conservatives on my side of the planet though. They both appeal on “the good old times, when the world was right”. Both equally glorify physical labor and fight against the intellectualism.
