Labor day is a whole cloth creation made up by American Capitalists to separate the labor struggle in America from the labor struggle everywhere else. An effort to stymie solidarity between American workers and workers around the world.
We have Labor Day. The rest of the world has International Workers Day or May Day as it’s sometimes called. May Day is May 1st.
What’s even more wild is that May Day was chosen to commerate the Haymarket Massacre in America after Americans had a real General Strike in 1886 and were executed, beaten, and jailed for it by the capitalist class.

Important to note, Shawn Fain of the UAW is organizing a General Strike on May Day of 2028. Start saving now, prepare, and be ready to participate and support your neighbors, your colleagues, and your self.
Saving? The threat of a strike seems a lot less intimidating if only people who can afford it will participate.
Those that can save, should, so that they can help their neighbors and colleagues who can’t.
We are only powerful if we work together, and that means those that can save excess money, should, and also be bold enough to offer support, and those that can’t should prepare in other ways like organizing and promoting, and be bold enough to seek support when they need it.
We win this together, not individually.
Careful, buddy, that immigrant wants to steal your cookie!
Ha ha, just kidding. 49.5% of voters often vote to support the pseudo-aristocracy.
What’s not in this picture: EVERY corporate media organization standing behind Mr.Burns furiously writing “no one wants to work anymore, everyone is too lazy. Here’s what the ABigFuckYou CEO has to say” stories that keep at least half that croud voting against our interests.
Why do CEOs make so much money when they are the least talented and do the least work? No CEO should make more than $80,000 a year and zero bonus unless they actually pull their weight.
