May Day

How does the forgetting of a workers' holiday commemorating an American labor struggle show fundamental aspects of the American Way of Life?

May Day is a day dedicated to the hard work of labor internationally… except for the United States and Canada. May day represents the struggle of workers trying to protest for an eight-hour day. Because May day is mostly celebrated by communist, socialist and anarchist groups the United States and Canada have chosen to opt out of this holiday. It seems so retarded that the US would go so far as to make up a whole new holiday. There is only a Labor Day because the US agrees with the same concepts of May Day. I think it just shows how much the government trys to shelter us from the thought of communist….
