tags: history May 16th, 2008 by David in Atlanta I just ran across an article by Rosa Luxemburg on the history of mayday as a working class political observance saying the custom originated in Australia in 1856. I'd always thought we had that honor in North America with the 1886 strike. Anyone know more? http://www.marxists.org/archive/luxemburg/1894/02/may-day.htm Login or register to post comments Share Close Social Web E-Mail Link Codes Your Email: * Your Name: * Send To: * Enter one address or multiple addresses separated with commas.

I just ran across an article by Rosa Luxemburg on the history of mayday as a working class political observance saying the custom originated in Australia in 1856. I'd always thought we had that honor in North America with the 1886 strike. Anyone know more?

The origins of the Gay Liberation Front ... and disrupting the 'Festival of Light' - UK 1960s
An excerpt from "Days in the Life - Voices from the English Underground 1961-1971", p. 378-382, Pimlico, UK, 1998.
The 'Festival of Light ' was a short-lived UK right wing Christian campaign involving Cliff Richard, Mary Whitehouse, Malcolm Muggeridge and other 'concerned' religious bores. It was a lame attempt to counter the libertarian culture of the 1960s-70s by re-asserting traditional Christian values.
