First, pretty much adapted from last year?
Two things to note.
One? This should be the date that "Labor Day" is celebrated. It's the date of International Workers' Day. It's the date that the American Federation of Labor called for the eight-hour day to be implemented, in 1886. And, that exact date is the day the Haymarket rally started.
Per the first link, ConservaDem President Grover Cleveland pushed for the September Labor Day date precisely to "defang" it and remove Haymarket connections.
Even worse? Per that page, Ike, Mr. "one nation UNDER GOD" Pledge of Allegiance president, declared May 1 to be Loyalty Day. Because "godless Communism," of course.
Remember that the American imperial class will co-opt anything they can, then claim America is "classless," then get many American people to buy it.
Second, riffing off a piece from last year?
Once again, no, we don't actually need yet another Communist Party.
Beyond Marxism being pseudoscience, with more on that here, with the degree Marx was locked into the exploitation of the natural world ideas of capitalism, we don't need any form of Marxism in today's climate crisis.
