Ilya Somin, a libertarian who writes at FaceBook and at Volokh Conspiracy, a law/libertarian blog comments on May 1, which although originally about “labor” is now an international celebration lauding communism, which killed 70-100 million people in the 20th century.
“1) all of the labor wrongs in the entire history of the US don't compare in scale to the evils of communism, and 2) many of the alleged wrongs (including bad working conditions) were primarily the result of the fact that the US at the time was a poor country by modern standards. Almost everyone in 1900 had bad working conditions compared to today. The solution to those problems was and is economic growth.”
