Wondering why the U.S. and Canada celebrate their Labor Day in September?
"The ruling class did not want to have a very active labor force connected internationally," said Peter Linebaugh, author of The Incomplete, True, Authentic, and Wonderful History of May Day. "The principle of national patriotism was used against the principle of working-class unity or trade union unity."
What is May Day? For the most part, the opposite of capitalism
What springs to mind when you hear May Day? In the U.S. and abroad, the day has grown to encompass a spectrum of meanings. But the themes have remained the same: worker unity, suppression and rebirth.
