I think a key way the capitalist class uses cultural hegemony to maintain power and control is by constantly promoting and reiterating the myth that most people are fundamentally lazy and will not work unless forced to. Despite this idea being demonstrably false, it is an integral part of most American's worldview even if they are not aware of it being so.

Between shoveling shit and nothing, most people *would* choose nothing.
