NS Gemeinschaft Kraft durch Freude (German for 'Strength Through Joy'KdF) was a German NSDAP-operated leisure organization in Nazi Germany.[1] It was part of the German Labour Front (German: Deutsche Arbeitsfront), the national labour organization at that time.

Set up in November 1933 as a tool to promote the advantages of Nazism to the German people and internationally, it was also used to ease the process of the rearmament of Germany. Through its structure of organized events and promotion of propaganda, it was also intended to prevent dissident and anti-state behavior. By 1939, it had become the world's largest tourism operator.[2]

KdF was composed of several departments with their own specific goals, with each department organizing different leisure activities. It organized activities such as sporting events on factory floors, art exhibitions, discounted concerts and, most famously and popularly, subsidized holidays and cruise trips. One of its largest departments, although sometimes considered a separate organization altogether, was Beauty of Labour, which concerned itself with physical and sanitary improvements of the workplace. KdF was responsible for the improvement of several factories and sports facilities throughout its operations in the 1930s.

KdF was supposed to bridge the class divide by making middle-class leisure activities available to the masses.[3] It also sought to bolster the German tourist industry, something it did successfully up until the outbreak of World War II. Official statistics showed that in 1934, 2.3 million people took KdF holidays. By 1938, this figure rose to 10.3 million.[4] With the outbreak of war in 1939, most of the organization's programs were suspended and several projects, such as the Prora holiday resort, were never completed.

Kamala Harris and the Political Power of Joy

After months of alternating between despair and terror, a lot of Democrats are feeling positively unburdened. In the day since President Biden stepped aside and the party coalesced behind Vice President Kamala Harris, a euphoric giddiness has fallen over the party.

You can see it in the donations: The Democratic small-dollar donor platform ActBlue has raised about $100 million in the last 24 hours, and the super PAC Future Forward has received $150 million in new commitments. And you can see it in the proliferation of silly TikTok memes, in the homemade merch and in the celebrities like Charli XCX and Ariana Grande getting on board. Suddenly, a campaign that felt like a bleak death march has become fun, even exuberant.

Intuitively, it seems like the newly effervescent vibes should help in the very serious project of defeating Donald Trump, but I’ve been curious if the political science literature backs that up. There doesn’t seem to be a ton of academic research about the role of excitement in presidential politics, perhaps because it’s hard to quantify.

“I don’t know of any political science or economic forecasting models that explicitly include a measure of voter enthusiasm,” the political scientist Alan Abramowitz told me. But the scholar Samuel Popkin, whose books include “The Candidate: What It Takes to Win — and Hold — the White House,” said that intangibles like joy and passion can matter a lot.

When people really like their candidate, he said, politics are “less of a chore, and you’re going to do things like wear the T-shirt.” Signals like T-shirts and yard signs, in turn, send a message that being part of a campaign is socially desirable.

In politics as in life, zeal is contagious.
