Happy Labor Day tender ones!
Here is a repost of our May Day episode from 2021. In it, Bob and Scott talk about the history of May Day from pagan rituals to the Haymarket Affair to International Workers’ Day to Labor Day and Loyalty Day. And we discuss how the ruling class’s “war on the left” fits into the politics of May Day vs. Labor Day.

Spend an hour of your Labor Day weekend hearing about its history. You won’t regret it.
