Mayday has been a celebration of life, renewal & pleasure since ancient times. More recently it was declared International Workers'Day to commemorate the execution of 4 anarchists in Chicago for their part in the struggle for an eight-hour working day. Both these aspects of Mayday were intertwined - a festival against work, want and denial, and a vision of freedom and plenty throughout the world.
