Remembering Odessa, 2018 NYC

Around the world, from China to Cuba, the International Working class rises up and celebrates International Workers Day with parades and street celebrations (or strikes). Everywhere except for the United States where Labor Day was implemented to separate the American workers from the International workers. On May 1st, 2014, Ukrainians took to the streets and celebrated the holiday despite threats from Neo-Nazi groups that have been ever-growing since Ukraine left the Soviet Union. In retaliation, the following day, May 2nd, these Neo-Nazi groups came for the blood of the antifascists. They burned down their encampment. The antifascists managed to get to the House of Trade Unions, where their office and meeting grounds were located. However once inside, these Neo-nazi groups attacked them forcing people outside by setting fire to the building then burning and beating those to death who didn't die from jumping out the building. To get an idea, heres an actual video from the event
