I don't celebrate Labor Day. In fact, it's a great opportunity for me to get some work in. I reject the holiday because of its Marxist foundation.
Don't get me wrong. It's nice that we get a holiday in September to spend time with our families and bar-b-que one more time before the chill of Autumn begins settling in. But, rather than basing our September day off on a socialist utopian premise, how about we move it to the Monday closest to September 11, and use the day as a way to solemnly remember what happened the day the towers fell as the result of an act of war against the United States by Islam?
Labor Day was set aside by the leftist Marxists in American politics to celebrate the rise of the working class against the bourgeoisie on this side of the Atlantic. In other words, to celebrate the rise of labor union. I get it, labor unions emerged to protect the workers, and to encourage legislation to guarantee those protections. A very worthy cause, on the surface. But, that was not the real reason behind the rise of labor unions. It was to get America ready for a worker's revolution. Socialism. Communism. A collective utopia where the means of production is controlled by government, and everyone is expected to live in a fair and equal society of homogeneity (gray, sexless, society of autonomous drones who have no individuality, no gender, and only live to contribute to the community).
Marxist socialism was the inspiration for the labor movement. Since then, the labor unions have become nothing less than money laundering operations for socialist politicians.
The goal of those socialists has been, and is to this day, the destruction of the private sector. They know that the massive pensions, cadillac health insurance plans and the rest of the system of benefits created and kept in place by the demands of the unions are a bad deal for private corporations. They know that the labor unions are forcing corporations into economic distress with unsustainable programs. That's the point. They are socialists. They are there to destroy the private sector, to move the means of production into the hands of the government, and send the corporations into bankruptcy. They wish to financially break the shareholders, and force the private sector into calling out to the government for a bailout, and eventually a buy-out.
If the private sector unions really cared about the workers, and the American economy, they would not be striking deals that destroy the private sector, and result in the loss of jobs. They are not there for the workers, or for America. They exist for the purpose of increasing their own power, and bringing about a socialist revolution.
Labor Day is the celebration of the proletariat, a holiday brought on by the labor union movement, a federal holiday celebrating the rise of the insertion of socialism into our American System.
During the mid-1800s, after continued abuses by manufacturers, labor unions rose up. The private business owners were portrayed as monsters, and in many ways, properly so. The inspiration for the first American Labor Day came from an alliance between the American Federation of Labor (AFL), craft unions, and local central labor federations in 1882 (during the birthing of the Progressive Era, and during the height of fabianism). Waves of strikes followed lasting through the middle of the 1890s, reaching a crescendo that resulted in the need to get the police, and ultimately the army, involved in order to control the situation. The Pullman Strike, led by future Socialist presidential candidate Eugene V. Debs in 1894, was crushed, and Debs was imprisoned for his involvement. The problem was being pushed to a breaking point, and the socialists were salivating at the opportunities being provided by the clashes.
That's how socialism embeds itself into societies. . . during times of civil unrest. They create mob violence so that they can squeeze themselves into leadership roles, not only without people really realizing what's going on, but in a manner that is welcomed because of their false promises and rhetoric.
In the Northeast the unions and federations had traditions of summer holidays, and the government decided a day for labor where beer drinking and family fun was the plan of the day would help quell the unrest. Shortly after the end of the Pullman Strike, Democrat President Grover Cleveland rushed a bill recognizing Labor Day through Congress. The Democrats had been bruised by the fact that they were largely behind calling in the police and army, and needed a way to mend fences, and create an image that they supported the workers. The labor movement was growing, and the Democrats saw the potential of pulling in more votes if they'd just latch on to the instigators of the violence.
Not a single elected official in Congress voted against this measure presented by President Cleveland.
President Cleveland chose a September date in order to set the American holiday off from European Mayday (after all, he didn't want everyone to realize the socialist nature of the holiday). An AFL resolution of 1909 declared the first Sunday to be the proper Labor Day, and eventually all States and the District of Columbia affirmed the holiday status for their residents. In 1968 Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act. The act moved several federal holidays, including Labor Day, to Mondays, and Labor Day has been celebrated on the first Monday of September ever since.
Labor Day, while its rise seems innocent enough, is the one day of the year that Marx's wage slavery is recognized in America.
Labor Day, we are told, was something created with the greatest of intentions. But, it wasn't. As with all of the other socialist advances in our American System, it was a designed attack against liberty, individualism, and our free market system. Labor Day is the celebration of collectivism, and by design, the labor movement has become something determined to undermine the private sector, to hinder the free market, and to destroy capitalism.
