May 1st is International Workers Day. I agree that it is silly, because it is May Day. But it has been adopted by labor movements across the world, and the pro-Communist connotations are just a part of it.

They should have picked another day though. Crony Capitalism sucks, but so does Communism. Actually, evidence suggests that Communism is even worse.
