Communist propaganda called this work "patriotic work." In spite of despicable living conditions, an incredible number of people gathered to work hand in hand.

The powerful songs of the brigadiers ("Rocks will fall, in the brigadier's work!") slowly died together with the abstract idea that their work was benefitting society...
...that time. When Communist officials took my grandfather's land and thresher away as part of "collectivization," they forced him into service for the collectivity. In exchange for his work he received a far smaller portion of the harvest than he did when his thresher was his own.

According to Brian Becker, a coordinator of the National People's Campaign that is sponsoring a counter-conference to the Summit, "the [President's] summit is all hoopla and propaganda." Becker and the thousands that joined him claim that the President's conference and the campaign for which it is a kick-off are a paltry and thinly-veiled attempt to justify both the reduction in government aid to the needy in our country and the downsizing and mass lay-offs...
