Happy May Day

Today is the real Labor Day, but our forefathers' fear of godless Communism prevented us from observing the correct date. Instead, we observe Labor Day in September.

What so many people fail to understand is that the ideal of communism is beautiful and Utopian. The idea that we would all be equal footing and observe no caste hierarchies gets submerged under the excesses in Russia and other countries who adopted communism. Yet again, our government exploited fear to turn our hearts against the ethos of communism. Mistakes were made in the Soviet Union and I will never agree with the draconian tactics taken by Lenin, Stalin, Tito, or other dictators.
