I would hope it's the puritanical work ethic; where Americans find themselves performing their labor with a sense of duty, and later bragging about how much more of the burden they could take when drinking with the comrades.
If we somehow had a real (and relatively smooth) transition to socialism, it would mean the end of a lot of bullshit jobs and a relatively open path to full automation. It would still be a long time until full automation can be achieved, and we'd have a lot of work to do for climate change preparation/mitigation, but it would at least remove the incentive to force people into working more hours than they need to.
