It's the communist Christmas y'all. I am looking forward to a day of unity, marches, and workers getting together.
For most of the world it seems to be a day off (not looking at you, The Netherlands).
Enjoy!

So glad to have the day off today (by coincidence) lol. I kinda want to read more about the Haymarket uprising in Chicago that started May Day, does anyone have any good articles or book suggestions on said topic? Thank you in advance!
This book was my intro to the Haymarket Affair.
Good one.
There's also this section of the autobiography of Mother Jones, and in general a lot of info from the IWW archive.
I didn't know the IWW had an archive.
Fun fact: the leader's wife (the wife of the leader who was executed) join the Communist Party USA but had her house burned down and the FBI swooped in and stole everything she was writing from the wreckage.
Lucy Parsons was a badass.
Also joined the CPUSA but had her house burned down and all her research taken!
