You can't make this up - the folks screaming about Russia and Trump want us all to join the Marxists on May Day.
OMG people are gullible. Hey kids, maybe spend the day reading 1984 instead.

May Day is a public holiday usually celebrated on May 1. It is an ancient northern hemisphere spring festival.[1] It is also a traditional spring holiday in many cultures.
In the late 19th century, May Day was chosen as the date for International Workers' Day by the Socialists and Communists of the Second International to commemorate the Haymarket affair in Chicago. International Workers' Day may also be referred to as "May Day", but it is a different celebration from the traditional May Day.
****""""""
The Haymarket affair (also known as the Haymarket massacre or Haymarket riot) was the aftermath of a bombing that took place at a labor demonstration on Tuesday May 4, 1886, at Haymarket Square[2] in Chicago. It began as a peaceful rally in support of workers striking for an eight-hour day and in reaction to the killing of several workers the previous day by the police. An unknown person threw a dynamite bomb at police as they acted to disperse the public meeting. The bomb blast and ensuing gunfire resulted in the deaths of seven police officers and at least four civilians; scores of others were wounded.
In the internationally publicized legal proceedings that followed, eight anarchists were convicted of conspiracy.

They're Not Real Commies

They're pseudo-communists. They only desire the power that they believe will come to to them in a communist revolution/government. A true communist would fight identity politics (only the worker's identity matters) and cares deeply for the prosperity of their nation (which we all know they'd much rather export America's wealth, i.e. globalists).
I've got respect for actual commies who give a damn about their country, like the Russian and Chinese commies. But we don't really have any of those here. Just a bunch of power hungry, ineffectual psuedo-communists.
