How did Che Guevara support volunteer labor in Cuba?

Che Guevara promoted volunteer labor in Cuba as a practical manifestation of his vision for a new socialist citizen, who he believed should work for the benefit of society rather than for personal profit.12

To lead by example, Guevara embodied this philosophy through his own dedication to hard work, often sleeping in his office to fulfill his duties as a government official. In direct support of the volunteer labor program he organized, he famously spent his days off performing manual labor in sugarcane fields. Through these actions, he sought to inspire others to contribute to the collective good of the nation.1
