Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

In Brazil there'll be massive marches for the reduction of the workweek. I think this year it'll the biggest First of May since the turn of the century.

How's it gonna go in your countries?

Nobody is making an event this year in Hungary. The Party this year decided to not organize any kind of march, as there would be so few of us, it would just be ridiculed nation-wide. Instead, to fit the theme of the 80th anniversary of the Red Army's liberation in Hungary, they are doing an event around that for themselves. They had the public event earlier, this is more in-house, apparently to encourage organization and deepen ties between members. They are planning to be around the party house, trying to come up with activities that serve this goal. I myself have been invited as well, but I've just been to the capital, barely a month ago as a guest to the congress and so I can't afford to be there for every event, I can barely afford a trip let's say twice a year, and I am saving the other one for Kádár's birthday during the summer.

In short, people forgot the 1st of May, or the ones who didn't, think back on it as like a funny/lame custom from the past, that was forced on them. I get people who only remember the songs, the flags, the marches, but it's really fucking depressing nobody fucking know what this shit is about. You would think an ex-socialist country made sure to cement concepts in people, but I swear on my momma, people don't even know what a worker is nowadays. The succdems and libs naturally aren't doing shit, not even the unions do. So unless the Nazis and Fidesz is going to surprise us with something, this year is going to be eventless.
