Happy Labour Day, fellow proles.

Happy Labour Day from the upper-working class of Las Vegas. Here is our liberal, Jewish mayor, the glorious Oscar Goodman.

So Finland is most likely the only country where mayday is a celebration for the highly educated right wingers and students?

We celebrate Labour Day on the first Monday of September instead of May 1st. To me both days are the same as long as I get the day off.

Well, as most of the population here is highly educated (well over 50%, thanks to public education), the labour movement has slowly died after the world war. Our "highschool graduates" (=students in College and Universities, pretty much) used to celebrate on the same day as the socialists, but as their numbers grew while the "working class" got thinner, the student and graduate party outgrew the labour party. People gather on streets to have fun and wear their graduate hats, and not just the current students, but everyone who has graduated from lukio("highschool"). There are some commies marching, sure, but they manage to gather somewhere around 50 people every year in Helsinki, which is pathetic.

The irony is that the socialdemocratic wellfarestate killed the labour movement. There is no need for it in a country that is as wealthy as ours as everyone has the chance to educate themselves. Our "working class" sits at offices instead of factories. The left is still alive thanks to the unemployed who still support it to keep the money flowing for them, while even the Social Democratic Party is centrist today. Everything the left wanted became true and the people started to reject the very basics of their ideologies, forcing the parties to either evolve towards center and right or die out completely. But then again our conservatives are also pretty much liberals when compared to other countries, so we do not have the "strong right". Still I find ridiculous that the scandinavian wellfare-state is used as an example by the lefties here, as they have obviously failed to see the fact that these countries are ran by the right and centrists, not socialists.

I have allways seen my country as the living proof of the fact that socialism and freedom of choice can't coexist. Universal wealth kills socialism.

Any person that only calls for the execution of a few bourgeoisie is obviously a bourgeois himself. Real proletarians celebrate by executing as many bourgeoisie as they can find.
