Excellent advice since it is clear that most of those who offered comments, by in large embarassingly uninformed, had not a clue that:\r\n\r\no   May Day began in the US in 1886 in Chicago.\r\n\r\no   May Day is still celebrated as an open, public working class holiday  in early every country EXCEPT THE US.\r\n\r\no    May Day is not just International Workers Day, it also stands for internationalism and opposition to capitalism, not just &quot;tweaking&quot; it.  It does not stand for anti-consumerism and is the antithesis of anti-communism, despite the anarchist and fascist redbaiters polluting this space with their nearly parallel dissing of  L.A.'s May Day celebration.\r\n\r\no    May Day has long been adopted as the holiday of the entire left (ie., state socialists, anarchists, trotskyists, social democrats, pro-Soviet communists, anti-Soviet communists, and quite a few non-US liberals.)

The rest of the communist revolutionaries have a mere ...anecdotic value (Fidel, mi fellow countrymen Che Guevada, etc) \r\n\r\nThe URSS was a backward semi-feudal torn apart country in the 1920s. By 1930s, it was an industrial superpower. Some decades later, that former feudal state put the first satellite in orbit.  Who accomplished all that? STALIN. \r\nWhat could have happened if , lets say, Trotsky became the soviet leader instead of Stalin? The nazis would have surely marched into Moscow by 1941.\r\nThis stalinist industry made possible, and supported all the leftists movements that emerged later in the XX century.  They would never had been possible without the URSS. When the URSS died, communism began to die. \r\nCuba and North Corea are fine examples of incompetent stalinists regimes. Cuban burocrats boasts about their supposed cientific and medical achievements, while their citizens still drive the Chevys, Ford Falcons and FIATs 128 manufactured in my country (Argentina) that the 'progressive' government of that time bought and sent to Castro as some kind of loan (CUBA NEVER PAYED A CENT OF IT). Cuba's industry is inexistent, after nearly 50 years of communism.\r\n\r\nWell, dear socialists, and leftists in general, think about it: whithout Stalin's work , your stupid ideas would have dissapeared from Earth some 50 years ago. So, don0t be so rude with uncle Iosif and show more respect for his figure.\r\n\r\n","author":"El Oligarca","parent_id":125829,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","created":"2005-05-04 01:02:47","modified":"2005-08-15 03:10:29","fileurl":"\/usr\/local\/www-domains\/la.indymedia.org\/public\/uploads\/2005\/05\/uvs041125-001.jpg","image":{"original":"\/usr\/local\/www-domains\/la.indymedia.org\/public\/uploads\/2005\/05\/uvs041125-001.jpg"}},{"id":125909,"heading":"'Favorite Russian Proverbs'","article":"We have these sayings to help us through the long capitalistic winter.\r\nLove your neighbor but watch your potato[e] patch.\r\nThere's plenty more where they came from.\r\nYou can't make an omlet without exploiting the hen\r\nAdvance comrade, the bayonet in my butt is poking me.","author":"Ivan Badinov with Kathryn the Terrific","parent_id":125829,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2005-05-04 01:11:33","modified":"2005-05-04 01:11:33","fileurl":""},{"id":125926,"heading":"Stalin and Bush","article":"The only significant difference between Stalin's atrocities and Bush's is the body count.
