    What does May Day mean for you?

    [quote]Background to May Day: In 1884, unions declared that eight hours would constitute a legal day’s work from and after May 1, 1886. When workers went on strike at a factory in Chicago on May 3, 1886, police fired into the peacefully assembled crowd, killing four and wounding many others. The workers movement called for a mass rally the next day in Haymarket Square to protest this brutality. The rally proceeded peacefully until the end when 180 police officers entered the square and ordered the crowd to disperse. At that point, someone threw a bomb, killing one police officer and wounding 70 others. The police responded by firing into the crowd, killing one and injuring many others.

    Eight of the city’s most active unionists were charged with conspiracy to commit murder even though only one even present at the meeting was on the speakers’ platform. All eight were found guilty and sentenced to death, despite a lack of evidence connecting them to the person who threw the bomb. Four were hanged on November 11, 1887, Louis Lingg committed suicide in prison, and the remaining three were finally pardoned in 1893. Lucy Parsons, the widow of Albert Parsons, traveled the world urging workers to celebrate May Day and to remember the events of Haymarket and the subsequent government-sponsored murder of those fighting for the rights of all workers.

    Over time, May Day grew to become an important day for organising and unifying the international struggle of workers and their allies. [/quote]

    Wow. Two downvotes for just mentioning a topic all over the news while asking for people's opinion rather than obviously angling for one in particular. Just so lame. Some people need to be about 90% less partisan.

    that is lame. So many angles as to why mayday is not celelbrated here in the states as it is elsewhere in the world. Also a lot of narrow minded people. Mayday is important to me for a handful of reasons, most importantly it is my parents anniversary.

    I guess it isn't really celebrated in the same way as America has no real socialist tradition. I mean Eugene Debs got some votes back in the day but the debate in the States has always pretty much been between liberalism, conservatism, and (from the 1930s or so) libertarianism.

    i didn't vote either way... i don't like downvotes, but i've seen you giv'emthumbsup

    you asked a question bout what may day means to peeps, then you pasted a piece that seemed like that is what may day is to you. the piece you pasted tells about the cops being the bad guys AFTER the workers killed a cop and wounded 70 other cops.

    that's what i take from it, but i'm back on my oxy after a self imposed month offbiggrin

    what kinda reaction would you expect from "this" crowd?

    I give them. But not willy-nilly. If you raise a topic that doesn't presuppose an answer ('Obama hates young kids?'), you provide some info, and you ask for people's point of view, and it's incredibly topical, then that's the definition of what you are meant to do on a message board. Otherwise no one would ever start any topics. How is outlining historical fact what it means to me? It's how May Day came to be commemorated in this country! Kind of relevant, no? And would you prefer that I take out the killing of the cops? presumably we're meant to say facts regardless of convenience?

    Since we're partying, how about a party song?

    Lied der Partei "Die Partei hat immer Rech...

    Das Lied der Partei, auch bekannt als Die Partei hat immer recht, wurde von der DDR-Staatspartei SED als Lobeshymne genutzt. Bekannt wurde vor allem der einprägsame Vers „Die Partei, die Partei, die hat immer recht". Text und Musik wurden 1949 von dem deutschsprachigen Tschechoslowaken Louis Fürnberg (1909-1957) verfasst (und 1950 uraufgeführt), welcher als überzeugter Kommunist 1928 in die Kommunistische Partei der Tschechoslowakei eingetreten war. Die Partei hat immer Recht Sie hat uns alles gegeben Sonne und Wind und sie geizte nie Oh sie war, war das Leben Was wir sind, sind wir durch sie Sie hat uns niemals verlassen Fror auch die Welt, uns war warm Uns schützt die Mutter der Massen Uns trägt ihr mächtiger Arm Die Partei, die Partei, die hat immer Recht Und Genossen, es bleibe dabei Denn wer kämpft für das Recht, der hat immer Recht Gegen Lüge und Ausbeuterei Wer das Leben beleidigt ist dumm oder schlecht Wer die Menschheit verteidigt hat immer Recht So aus Leninschem Geist wächst von Stalin geschweißt Die Partei, die Partei, die Partei Sie hat uns niemals geschmeichelt Sang uns im Kampfe auch mal der Mut Hat sie uns leis' nur gestreichelt Zag nicht und gleich war uns gut Zehrten auch Schmerz und Beschwerde Wenn uns das Gute gelingt Wenn man den Ärmsten der Erde Freiheit und Frieden erzwingt Die Partei, die Partei, die hat immer Recht Und Genossen, es bleibe dabei Denn wer kämpft für das Recht, der hat immer Recht Gegen Lüge und Ausbeuterei Wer das Leben beleidigt ist dumm oder schlecht Wer die Menschheit verteidigt hat immer Recht So aus Leninschem Geist wächst von Stalin geschweißt Die Partei, die Partei, die Partei Sie hat uns alles gegeben Ziegel zum Bau und den großen Plan Sie sprach: „Meistert das Leben!" Vorwärts Genossen packt an Hetzen Hyänen zum Kriege Bricht euer Bau ihre Macht Zimmert das Haus und die Wiege Bauleute seit auf der Wacht Die Partei, die Partei, die hat immer Recht Und Genossen, es bleibe dabei Denn wer kämpft für das Recht, der hat immer Recht Gegen Lüge und Ausbeuterei Wer das Leben beleidigt ist dumm oder schlecht Wer die Menschheit verteidigt hat immer Recht So aus Leninschem Geist wächst von Stalin geschweißt Die Partei, die Partei, die Partei

    Have you ever given a down vote to another lib?

    FWIW, I don't give down votes on either board. Dumb concept. I'll object to the point in person instead of in secret.

    The 1990 Hunt for the Red October film had great music. Here is that famous "hymn", with the lyrics on the screen for you. The film starred Sean Connery. The submarine photos here are of Typhoon class subs.Only 2 photos are actually from the film. The rest of the submarine photos are real. The film was based on a novel of the same name, written by Tom Clancy. It's an American film. I don't know who sang in the choir... Do you think they are Russians, or Americans?
