Ever heard of political zealots?
People who firmly and undeniably believe in their cause so much that they will do anything for it. The Americans suffer from it as much as the Chinese and as much from just about any group. These are fanatical followers that will just give up their lives for their cause.
Research has shown that the pyramids weren't built with all forced slave labor ... they were built by fanatical followers that wanted to do the work and honestly believed in the rewards for the afterlife if they built these monolithic projects.
If you can get people to truly believe in something, no matter what it is ... you can get them to work for nothing, no immediate reward, without intimidation and get them to move mountains.
