It's basically the biggest booze fest you'll find on this planet -- hasn't had much to do with socialism since the 1970s. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You might want to chill out a little bit (that goes for your world views as well). Especially since in order to actually have the flag on a ship, you would have had to manually put it on yourself. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's why it's called labor day, and not socialist propaganda day. 2. Edited 3. Edited 4. There is no right not to be offended. For example, your avatar depicting "The British Navy" is greatly offensive to me since I despise navies that historically sucked a lot. But I can't have your avatar blocked...Why? Because there is no right not to be offended. 5. I give up. 6. You're British, aren't you? 7. I positively give up... This post has been edited by the moderation team due to inflammatory remarks.

That's why it's called labor day, and not socialist propaganda day. Sorry but this is totally not true, and stems from the same mistake the OP makes, which is the (faulty of course) equivocation of socialism with communism (probably influenced by US Editedorics, or the equivocation of socialism with strict non-market socialism. Socialism in the broadest sense is nothing else than trying to adjust society so the goods (wealth, health, etc) of that society don't all amass with certain select individuals, but also benefit the society (see this word?) as a whole, which first of all (end of 19th century & later) became a reason to care for the vast majority of the society, i.e. workers. Every "social right" you can think of originally stems from there, be it the right to vote, the right not to be fired for no reason at all, the right to be payed (!), the right to have your children not having to work in coal mines etc. If the OP is so vehement about his "antisocialism" he should go work in a sweatshop in Vietnam, together with his children. Even the US is for a big part "socialist", it has taxes that go into transportation, education, welfare, etc. People who are so anti all this, should be aware they are being manipulated by some very select people who would win by removing a lot of these measures, and I'm quite sure non of the users of this forum or playerbase would be one of them.
