• The first definition is all wrong. May Day (or Mayday) is actually an [anarchist] and labor holiday, the true labor day, and has nothing to do with state communism.
    The story of May Day:
    In early May of 1886, anarchist and labor activists rioted in Haymarket Square in [Chicago] in the name of winning an eight-hour workday. During that time, most capitalist bosses required their workers to work for 14 hours a day with little breaks or days off. During the riot, someone threw a bomb. Five anarchists were accused of bomb-throwing or a conspiracy to do such and were tried, later convicted, and hanged. May Day became a day to remember their sacrifice as well as the sacrifices of all laborers who must work under the conditions of [wage slavery].
