(I'm glad Ronald Reagan put a stop to this nonsense)

Пролетарии всех стран, соединяйтесь!

(I'm glad Ronald Reagan put a stop to this nonsense)

That's an excellent point Dale...

It seems to me it would be altogether fitting were Congress to vote that May 1st should be declared, "National Ronald Wilson Reagan Appreciation Day"...

A day for school children to study his central role in the fall of communism, parades and memorial events in his honor, etc.

Write your Congressmen and Senators!

So after discussing his contributions, what would we do wth the remaining 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59.6 seconds remaining in the day?

Wasn't May 1 the day they discovered Hitler dead in his bunker?

Hitler killed himself on April 30th. I believe May 1st was the day that German radio announced that he was dead. (They didn't say he'd committed suicide of course; some nonsense about "fighting with his last breath for Germany")

There was never any official announcement about his body being found; it took Russian soldiers several day to find his partially burned remains, and for years the Soviets wouldn't confirm that they had them. The KGB had custody of the body and kept moving it around. Eventually they completely cremated them, (except for the skull) and poured the ashes down a sewer drain.

Of course it does. Right-wingism depends on lies.

Still, having a Reagan Appreciation Day might not be a bad idea. But how would we arrange for all those millions of school children to piss on his grave in only one day?

No chance that Ratz will attempt beatification then?

May Day began as an American Holiday after the Haymarket Massacre in 1886.

History

International Workers' Day is the commemoration of the 1886 Haymarket Massacre in Chicago, when, after an unknown person threw a dynamite bomb at police as they dispersed a public meeting, Chicago police fired on workers during a general strike for the eight hour workday, killing several demonstrators and resulting in the deaths of several police officers, largely from friendly fire.[1][2][3][4] In 1889, the first congress of the Second International, meeting in Paris for the centennial of the French Revolution and the Exposition Universelle, following a proposal by Raymond Lavigne, called for international demonstrations on the 1890 anniversary of the Chicago protests.[citation needed] May Day was formally recognized as an annual event at the International's second congress in 1891.[citation needed]

Subsequently, the May Day Riots of 1894 occured. In 1904, the International Socialist Conference meeting in Amsterdam called on "all Social Democratic Party organizations and trade unions of all countries to demonstrate energetically on May First for the legal establishment of the 8-hour day, for the class demands of the proletariat, and for universal peace." The congress made it "mandatory upon the proletarian organizations of all countries to stop work on May 1, wherever it is possible without injury to the workers."[5]

In many countries, the working classes sought to make May Day an official holiday, and their efforts largely succeeded. May Day has long been a focal point for demonstrations by various socialist, communist and anarchist groups. In some circles, bonfires are lit in commemoration of the Haymarket martyrs, usually at dawn.[6] May Day has been an important official holiday in Communist countries such as the People's Republic of China, Cuba and the former Soviet Union. May Day celebrations typically feature elaborate popular and military parades in these countries.

In the United States and Canada, however, the official holiday for workers is Labor Day in September. This day was promoted by the Central Labor Union and the Knights of Labor, who organized the first parade in New York City. After the Haymarket Square riot in May, 1886, US President Grover Cleveland feared that commemorating Labor Day on May 1 could become an opportunity to commemorate the riots. Thus he moved in 1887 to support the Labor Day that the Knights supported.[7]

In 1955, the Roman Catholic Church dedicated May 1 to "Saint Joseph The Worker". The Catholic Church considers Saint Joseph the patron saint of (among others) workers, craftsmen, immigrants[8] and "people fighting communism".[9]

Right-wing governments have traditionally sought to repress the message behind International Workers' Day, with fascist governments in Portugal, Italy, Germany and Spain abolishing the workers' holiday, and the Conservative party in the UK currently attempting to abolish the UK's annual May Day Bank Holiday.[10]
