A day of leisure

The First of May is called, wherever socialism has been imposed or there are aspirants to impose it, “Labour Day.” A milder version of this, in America, falls on the first Monday of September. A “Victims of Communism Day” has been shifted to May 1st from November 7th, in certain jurisdictions, as a formal memorial and rememberance of the (literally) tens of millions of human beings who were slaughtered by the various socialist and atheist regimes. To my mind, “May Day” is an appropriate occasion to torment the various socialists and atheists who persist. Most imagine glibly that they are merely “progressive,” but I do not think their vile ignorance ought to be accommodated.

On the other hand, “May Day” should be spiritually reversed, by re-establishing jolly mediaeval customs with flowers and fertility rites. While it is important that we punish socialists, and quasi-socialists such as environmentalists, we should declare a “Leisure Day” on which to celebrate our occasional flights from these tyrants. For genuine, productive, creative work has always been founded in philosophical leisure, and not in the marching orders of bureaucrats and slave masters. Remember, at least ninety percent of the “government work” for which taxes are collected and public debt incurred is not only absolutely worthless; it is evil, and anti-human. On Leisure Day, we should make it our habit to rebel.
