May 1st always makes me contemplate the tragic legacy of communism, and the stupidity of those who continue to romanticize the awful totalitarian ideas behind it.
I urge you all to review the great collection of articles in the May Day tradition at The Distributed Republic.
Here are some more of their collections from 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004.
Note: It seems that many of the links in these pages can be fixed by replacing “catallarchy.net/blog” with “distributedrepublic.net”
