Labor Day -- burgers, brats and Bolshevism
Exclusive: Matt Barber notes holiday 'is rooted, 100 percent, in socialism'
Published: 2 days ago


 

How’s about some commie ketchup on that burger? It’s extra red. A little Marxist mustard for your dog? What about a pinch of socialist sauerkraut on that bubbling bratwurst?

Didn’t you know? That’s why you get the day off on Monday. That’s what your Labor Day barbecue commemorates: socialism. Delicious, juicy, smoky socialism with a side of potato salad (German, of course) and a game of Cornhole (everyone’s a winner!) – frills made affordable to Americans, American businesses and big government waste-fraud-and-abuse mills by, well, capitalism.

I know, I’m a killjoy, and, call me a hypocrite, but I’m grilling out Monday anyway. Still, fellas, while you’re sweating over that sizzling Weber this three-day weekend, just be sure to tip a stein to old Karl, Vladimir and Josef. Without those genocidal schmendricks, you’d be stuck in your cubical Monday, just like every other day, playing Candy Crush and checking fantasy football.

It's not 100% rooted in socialism.  Is the author saying we shouldn't take a day off to at least pretend to honor those whose primary contribution to society is the sweat of their brow?

I get so tired of the implicit capital v. labor argument.  Neither is worth a hill of beans without the other.

It's a day off between the Fourth of July and Thanksgiving, a day to mark the end of summer vacations, and the closest thing to a day off for a day off's sake we have on our calendar.

At this point, "labor" has nothing to do with it.

If we really were Communist, we would celebrate May Day instead of Labor Day.

What about working on the Sunday before Labor day?
