The Incomplete, True, Authentic and Wonderful History of MAY DAY is now at: http://parsons.iww.org/~red/mayday.html This radical social history of both red and green roots of May Day includes select graphics and is beautifully written by Peter Linebaugh (member of the Midnight Notes collective). >From the beginning: "Green is a relationship to the earth and what grows therefrom. Red is a relationship to other people and the blood spilt there among. Green designates life with only necessary labor; Red designates death with surplus labor. Green is natural appropriation; Red is social expropriation. Green is husbandry and nurturance; Red is proletarianization and prostitution. Green is useful activity; Red is useless toil. Green is creation of desire; Red is class struggle. May Day is both." happy May Day, Chris --- from list [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Leftlink - Australia's Broad Left Mailing List mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.alexia.net.au/~www/mhutton/index.html Sponsored by Melbourne's New International Bookshop Subscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=subscribe%20leftlink Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=unsubscribe%20leftlink
