Reflections on the Long March of Socialism: Labor Day, 1894 to 2021
There are diverse views on the Labor Day holiday, but not many Americans today know the turbulent and violent foundation of this federal holiday. Labor Day was not just created as a nice idea by labor union officials to honor the efforts of laborers; it was born from the heat and intense political friction of the summer of 1894. And in 2020, the fruition of over 100 years of plotting, toil, and strife paid off in one of the greatest thefts in history -- and they got away with it.- Tuesday, September 7, 2021
