Many countries in Europe already celebrated May Day as a Spring Festival with parties, dancing singalongs and outdoor games, thus the Communists exchanged the celebration from one of innocuous frolicking to a serious political movement celebration.

It’s what communists do. They ruin everything they touch!..............

Communists and May Day

Communists co-opted May Day to celebrate the accomplishments of workers and to promote international solidarity among the working class. The International Socialist Conference in 1889 designated May 1 as a labor holiday to honor the Chicago workers who had fought for an eight-hour workday, thus birthing what many nations now call International Workers’ Day.

This day was intended to commemorate the struggles and gains made by workers and the labor movement.

By celebrating May Day, Communist parties aimed to strengthen the global labor movement and challenge capitalist systems.
