'''May Day''', the 1st of May, is celebrated internationally as a day to honor the contributions of workers. Started in the United States as an outgrowth of the Haymarket labor unrest of 1886, it was co-opted by [[communist]] governments worldwide and used to celebrate that form of government. [[Labor Day]] is instead celebrated in the United States on the first Monday of September. With the general demise of communist governments it has evolved into a day to celebrate labor and progressive causes, although demonstrations are still held by [[socialist]] and [[anarchist]] groups around the world.
