From all of us at TRNN to all of you: Happy International Workers Day! To commemorate this sacred holiday, we are reposting this special crossover podcast on the radical history of May Day, hosted by the @SrslyWrong podcast, originally published on May 1, 2021. In this wide-ranging discussion, TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez joins a panel to discuss the spirit and political roots of May Day, it's relevance to working-class struggles today, and how the US holiday of Labor Day was deliberately established over a century ago as a way to celebrate workers and the accomplishments of the labor movement without invoking the revolutionary spirit of May Day.

Thank you for doing this as this is the real Labour Day and it is celebrated in all South America and many other places. 1885 Workers were protesting for better rights for four days, many were killed for radicals.

No Chris Hedges, no subscription. Max can take a walk.

I came to your channel for Chris Hedges. Since you decided to buckle under pressure and fire him, I am unfollowing you, like many others, I am sure. Very disappointed

Wtf were you thinking knocking off Chris Hedges, Left Self Censorship, scabbing for the state censorship industrial complex

@The Real News Network. I am unsubscribing because you cancelled Chris Hedges, who is one of the most important voices of our time

It's sad. The thing is...everyone knows Chris Hedges is legit. Chris will find a new job but the Real News Network failed at it's only job.

@linesofcoke 20 дней назад

Wanna say something about what chris hedges wrote about you cancelling his show? "I was just informed by Max Alvarez, the Editor-in-Chief at The Real News, that they will no longer run my show. The reason for the cancellation, he said, is that my critiques of Biden, especially for the genocide in Gaza, jeopardizes his nonprofit status." Thats messed up, man.

🔥The Real News Network caves to Zionist pressure and fires Chris Hedges because he talked the truth about genocide! If you care about the truth, anti-war, free speech, censorship etc: unsubscribe from this channel and don’t sponsor them any where! We can’t have a genocidal country dictating what news can be viewed in America. Pass on this message!

I can still remember when about 65 years ago, I joined in with the other students at my school in Southern California and we all ‘danced’ around the May Pole; each of us holding the end of a streamer and half of us going in one direction and the other half going the opposite direction, and when we passed a student going the other way, we alternated. One student passed on the right side and the next one passed on the left. The pole ended up with streamers woven into a cord with a middle core of steel. (The poles were normally used as tether-ball poles.) It was a lot of fun to do and to see the results. I had a very tumultuous childhood, most of which I’ve put out of my mind, but being a part of this celebration is something I’ll always remember. ❤

Unsubscribed for sacking Chris Hedges. We all have to do our part against the genocide in Gaza.

Back in the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, and 10s I remember seeing/reading news of riots and deaths on May 2nd, news articles about how awful it was just a day earlier. Never any news stories on May 1st, talking about worker's rights. I think this is the first time ever that I've read something about what May Day is actually all about on May 1st. Good job, The Real News Network! (And yes, I've read and heard about May Day in school, heard/read about its origins, how it's the world's Labor Day, but here in the States we celebrate the same thing in September. Never on May 1st has there been a review of this info.)

Poverty is far too expensive for all of us. Until we institute "The Universal Declaration of Human Rights globally (Eleanor Roosevelt and the UN treaty and the reason the United States has any voice at all left)," Fascism will continue to resurface, a lesson we learned after WWII. Can we let the intelligent people rule now? No wonder affluent people are afraid of AI (Logic), because they are intentionally ignorant by association. The "vulnerable" populations we neglect are life and nature itself.. It was always about protecting the vulnerable, mothers and children first, something capitalism neglects the most.. Yah I'm a "Communityist."

You fired Chris Hedges?? Wtf!! Max I always enjoyed your passionate defences of and tutorials about labour news and history, but to get rid of Hedges for criticising Biden is a bridge too far. Unsubbing.

“Back in May of this year..”? This is the first day of the month of May for THIS year. (It’s also my brother’s birthday.)

Already know the History. And the slick juxtaposition of our own Labor Day from May to September. We fired the shot heard round the world for Labor during the Haymarket Affair. Damn Socialists! 😅

Hey...off topic...but not in the macro view. REAL NEWS ? Kicked Chris Hedges out on the street due to an RN funder complaint. Chris Hedges. One of the 2 or 3 brilliant inetellects of our time. Gone from Real News. On purpose. So much for R N.

@vivalapalestine7235 15 дней назад

It’s good this popped up on auto play because I remembered that I have to unfollow you guys for firing Chris Hedges. He made this show relevant , I actually thought this was his personal channel . You guys made a huge mistake and with so many people now seeing Israel for the phariah state that they are this was just a stupid business move as well

You took down Chris Hedges? It only proves i was right to unsub from this channel.

@fcvkthefuture5488 18 дней назад

Canceling Chris hedges has left me no choice but to unsubscribe. How dare you guys call yourself independent media then tell Chris his criticism of genocide puts your non profit at risk. This is the most crucial time of all for this coverage as Israel uses everything it can to shut down conversation. Epic fail max.

@vivalapalestine7235 15 дней назад

I thought Chris hedges owned and created this channel , he is the only person I ever listened to on this channel anyway so if he’s not here I’m not either ! With so many people finally waking up to the reality of occupation and genocide , you could’ve easily had millions of subscribers if you weren’t so dumb . Free Palestine !

Just take the word Real out of your name seriously. Not even kidding. Youre insulting the public. You get rid or Chris Hedges seriously? Im unsubscribing and never clicking on your videos again.
