You dropped something from the closed thread
This issue is seriously overblown.
When I was growing up, (in the upper Midwest), May day was a huge holiday, where retail stores all had sidewalk sales, and parades were back to back all day long. It was also a factory holiday.
Call it what you will, but it is traditional and the fact that not everyone celebrated it, does not make it some sort of Communist plot as some have been saying.
I find all this hyperbole to be nonsense. Just plain vindictive nonsense from a right wing sector that has lost it's marbles.

You might want to research this whole agitprop of ours a little further CH!
There IS a folk tradition of May Day completely separate from the political realm.
My Grandparents brought it over from Sweden, and many communities continued a British tradition here as well. May pole, flowers, all that.......
I have, and you are in some bad company....
This issue is totally out of control.
Not my fault, that you cannot see it. But I continue to point it out anyway...
The best thing do do is for rotational heads to back off, and then you will see what remains.
