May Day is not officially celebrated in the United States because many Americans are scared of ‘commies’ and ‘socialists’. In many other countries of the world it is one of the most revered holidays. In the religion of Baldism, it is a religious holiday. I had ChatGPT write an example of a rabble rousing speech from a labor organizer in celebration of this day. Enjoy.

Without further ado:
Comrades, fellow workers, and friends!
We gather here today not as individual laborers but as a collective force against the brutal and inhumane system of exploitive capitalism! This system has been perpetuated by the ruling elite for centuries, enriching themselves on the backs of the working class, and subjecting us to endless toil and suffering.
But I tell you this - we will not be silenced, we will not be intimidated, and we will not be defeated!
It is time to cast aside the illusions that have been foisted upon us, and to recognize the reality of the situation we face. We are the ones who keep this society running, who build its infrastructure, who create its wealth, and who make it possible for the wealthy few to live lives of luxury and excess.
Yet what do we receive in return? Poverty wages, unsafe working conditions, lack of job security, and a system rigged against us at every turn. We are told to be grateful for our crumbs while the fat cats feast on the bounty of our labor.
But the time for gratitude is over. The time for action is now!
We must stand together and demand our fair share of the fruits of our labor. We must demand higher wages, better working conditions, healthcare, and a decent standard of living for all. We must demand that the wealth of this country be distributed fairly, and that the ruling class be held accountable for their crimes against the working class.
We must organize and fight for our rights, for our dignity, and for our future! We must take to the streets, occupy our workplaces, and refuse to back down until our demands are met.
We must remember the struggles of those who have come before us - the Haymarket martyrs, the Ludlow strikers, the Flint sit-downers - and draw strength from their sacrifices.
The ruling class will try to divide us, to sow discord and confusion among us. They will try to convince us that we are powerless and that we should accept our lot in life. But we know the truth - that our power lies in our unity, our solidarity, and our unwavering commitment to the cause of social justice.
So I ask you, comrades, are you ready to join the struggle? Are you ready to fight for a better future for ourselves and for generations to come? Are you ready to take on the exploitative capitalist system and build a new society based on fairness, equality, and solidarity?
Then let us raise our voices in unison, let us take up the banner of socialism, and let us march forward together to victory!
