Federal holidays are no cause for celebration, according to a far-left Queens Assembly candidate backed by NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

“Whether it is July 4th, Thanksgiving, Veterans, Columbus or now Labor Day, we enjoy days off that are supposed to be victories for people, when they truly represent the silencing & destruction of our movements,” Aber Kawas, a longtime Palestinian-American activist, wrote in an online journal posted on Sept. 7, 2015 — Labor Day.

“Today I do not celebrate a day off, I only recommit myself to a global movement that fights against the death, displacement, and exploitation of people for capital.

Aber Kawas, a far-left Queens Assembly candidate backed by NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani despises federal holidays because they reject socialism and are all part of the American Dream.
 
“For this movement, a day off is not a victory. A day off means nothing, because liberation means everything,” added Kawas, who like Mamdani, is a card-carrying member of the Democratic Socialists of America.

What a f**king idiot.  The only systems that exploit people for capital are leftist collectivist systems, where the individual is treated as expendable in service of the “collective good” which, mirabile dictu, mostly ends up benefitting those who control the government.  Look at the Soviet Union, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela post-Chavez (and pre-Trump); regular individuals are sacrificed by the millions - treated as disposable capital - while the leaders live in personal splendor.
