May 1--Remember those who died

From Ilya Somin at The Volokh Conspiracy

May Day began as a holiday for socialists and labor union activists, not just communists. But over time, the date was taken over by the Soviet Union and other communist regimes and used as a propaganda tool to prop up their regimes. I suggest that we instead use it as a day to commemorate those regimes’ millions of victims. The authoritative Black Book of Communism estimates the total at 80 to 100 million dead, greater than that caused by all other twentieth century tyrannies combined. We appropriately have a Holocaust Memorial Day. It is equally appropriate to commemorate the victims of the twentieth century’s other great totalitarian tyranny. And May Day is the most fitting day to do so. I suggest that May Day be turned into Victims of Communism Day....

Somin wrote that on May 1, 2007, and here's today's entry.
The labor unions in the U.S. are really ratching up their violence and lies; we have a socialist/crony capitalist in the White House; we have a president who is cozy with Islamist extremists and then when he encourages their subjects to rebel, abandons them. It's playbook communism.
