May Day

Because May Day is having to do with, socialism, communism, and anarchy, America avoids it entirely. I think it just goes to show how we're so brainwashed to shiver at the thought of communism, frown upon at the idea of socialism or think badly of anarchy when most Americans probably do not even understand the real ideas of socialism, communism, and anarchy because the propaganda tells Americans that communism is evil, or a country like Cuba is evil because it is socialist. Its hard for Americans to think for themselves when their views and influences are one sided.

I think it is interesting how Americans do not celebrate May Day with the rest of the world, the U.S. had to have their own labor day in September as to not associate themselves with socialist/communist/anarchist countries or their enemies. And it is also interesting how the media is completely dissmissive of May Day and the fact that this day benefitted all working class people. It probably is not very surprising because media being run by upper class, against communism because that means less money for them, the benefits to the lower classes has no affect on them.
