Happy Labour Day, comrades!
Happy Labour Day, comrades!
It's the communist Christmas y'all. I am looking forward to a day of unity, marches, and workers getting together.
For most of the world it seems to be a day off (not looking at you, The Netherlands).
Enjoy!
it's "Loyalty Day" in the US
Today?!
Happy May Day Comrades…YES!
a day to chill n be cool
And enjoy the fruits of our labor.
the actual labor day
And Labor Day is Fake May Day.
Happy labor day comrades. Apart from Holland (cringe) where else in the world is it NOT considered a day off?
It's an official holiday in Denmark, so this map isn't correct
Yeah, we celebrate May Day in America only informally.
In Canada, we get the day off, but not until September.
Another Canadian oof.
The US
Yeah, only informally at best.
Australia, for starters... which makes sense.
except for me, it has been 10 months since iast worked, I'm unemployed :(
"Worker" in this context doesn't mean "currently employed", it means "working class person".
A working class person, a proletarian, is anyone who needs to sell their labour power to survive. As opposed to someone doesn't need to work to survive, who can live off of profits from capital they own.
It's been over a year since I last worked.
So glad to have the day off today (by coincidence) lol. I kinda want to read more about the Haymarket uprising in Chicago that started May Day, does anyone have any good articles or book suggestions on said topic? Thank you in advance!
This book was my intro to the Haymarket Affair.
Good one.
There's also this section of the autobiography of Mother Jones, and in general a lot of info from the IWW archive.
I didn't know the IWW had an archive.
Fun fact: the leader's wife (the wife of the leader who was executed) join the Communist Party USA but had her house burned down and the FBI swooped in and stole everything she was writing from the wreckage.
Lucy Parsons was a badass.
Happy labor day, comrades! A shame people don't celebrate May 1st in Canada (in Brazil the day is very celebrated).
In America, nobody knows about it.
Only holiday I celebrate.
I'm partial to Halloween...

My therapist said happy "May Day" to me.
She sent me a picture commemorating it for me.
I forgot to bring my Soviet Union flag to the demonstration :(. At least I bought a Palestine flag today
I too forgot
I sometimes forget my CPUSA flag...
Good idea. More relevant.
