It isn't as much a Communist holiday, as it is a Socialist holiday, much the same as Labor day is over here. It's only been a Socialist holiday since the late 1800s, but has been a traditional Celtic holiday for about 500 years, and not to celebrate the laborers, but to celebrated the arrival of spring.
