The roots of May Day grew in Nazi socialism soil

No wonder it’s a hallowed day for the progressive Democrats.

It’s May Day, a day when the workers of the world are set to unite and (ostensibly) fight against injustice—but because it’s a cause rooted in the soil of far-left political philosophies like fascism and communism, everything is backwards, and predictably, the anti-Israel and anti-Jew “Free Palestine” movement is entwined with the May Day “festivities.”

And just as predictably, it’s a hallowed day for the progressive Democrats.

There was a time when you dared not mention the logical fact that collectivist Volk were leftist comrades, despite the overwhelming evidence. Any socialist within earshot would be immediately offended and try to bluff their way into proving otherwise, but now, with anti-Jewish protests erupting in violence across the U.S., their 100-year-old big lie that Nazism is a conservative philosophy is falling apart—and that will be their Downfall.

There are many reasons for this disintegration before our very eyes. Still, the primary has to be that so many college students are running around, repeating history, and acting like Nazis. Note that the original etymology of the word meant “a foolish person, clumsy or awkward person.”

The Nazis celebrated May Day like all other leftists, inaugurating a new labor code on the occasion in 1934; from The New York Times:

NAZIS INAUGURATE LABOR CODE TODAY; ‘The Common Good Before the Good of the Individual’ Is the Slogan of New System. STATUS OF JEWS AN ISSUE Law Says They May Be ‘Leaders’ in Their Businesses, but Public Opinion Protests.

BERLIN, April 30. -- The new Nazi labor code with its system of ‘leaders and followers, confidential shop councils, courts of honor and labor trustees’ goes into effect tomorrow. In connection with the May Day observance, the ‘leaders and followers’ will take an oath to serve

Collectivism is a cancer that we can’t seem to get rid of. It probably goes back even further than Marx, but any political ideology which seeks to declare one group to be “good” and other groups to be “bad” is just a bad idea. It’s tribalism. It’s primitive and intentionally divisive. Individual rights are where it’s at, and none of the Collectivist ideologies support the concept of the Individual.

I read somewhere that May 1st is also the birthday of Baal. I have not confirmed this enough to state that as a fact, however.

Hmmm. I seem to recall it was a kind of fertility/spring-has-sprung celebration originating in the Middle Ages.

The Eugenics movement came right out of the Socialist handbook... Abort babies from the poor, mentally handicapped and diseased so that their genes aren’t propagated. Assisted suicides for the terminally ill and mentally and physically defected to save the state money...

Only intelligent and intellectually superior people will be fed and nurtured, and everybody else is obviously expendable.

The great socialist leaders of the 20th century who subscribed to eugenics as a method to reform society and thus create a more ‘perfect’ world... Margaret Sanger (American socialist), Tommy Douglas (Canada’s socialist leader) and that dude from Germany... Adolph Hitler.

May Day’s origins began as a celebration for the beginning of summer, and like everything else, has been bastardized by the left. They always take something positive, and turn it to $hit.
