Yesterday we mentioned an AP poll which showed that 'the press' has little credibility.
Today Little Local Pravda showed us why!
...May Day, an international labor holiday, honors and recognizes workers in all occupations. Voces de la Frontera, Wisconsin's largest immigrant rights advocacy group, organizes a march each year....
Pravda didn't print all the pertinent facts about May Day, nor did they draw the connection between "Voces de la Frontera" and the international Communist movement.
...In 1889 an international federation of socialist groups and trade unions designated May 1 as a day in support of workers, in commemoration of the Haymarket Riot in Chicago (1886). Five years later, U.S. Pres. Grover Cleveland, uneasy with the socialist origins of Workers’ Day, signed legislation to make Labor Day—already held in some states on the first Monday of September—the official U.S. holiday in honour of workers. Canada followed suit not long afterward.
In Europe May 1 was historically associated with rural pagan festivals (see May Day), but the original meaning of the day was gradually replaced by the modern association with the labour movement. In the Soviet Union, leaders embraced the new holiday, believing it would encourage workers in Europe and the United States to unite against capitalism. The day became a significant holiday in the Soviet Union and in the Eastern-bloc countries, with high-profile parades, including one in Moscow’s Red Square presided over by top government and Communist Party functionaries, celebrating the worker ...
It was a cute little parade led by one of Milwaukee's prominent Communists (or Communist sympathizer). Perhaps 200 people showed up to march around and make demands.
That's a very small number. Neumann-Ortiz doesn't have the mojo any more.
