youthincare:kropotkindersurprise:[video][ first image is 3 men with tools representing 3 different jobs with a white and red background like a sun glaring. the text above says, “May 1.” Second image is a man smashing his fist on a desk and then the next scene is a man working with text that says, “dangerous conditions, little pay.” Third image is an announcement of the federation of organized trades and unions in 1884. the next scene is two hands being shook in solidarity. Fourth image is of the hands shaking in solidarity, then the next scene is an alarm clock with text on it that says, “8 hour day” and the next scene is a man with his arm raised, and text that says, “may 1 1886″ below, and a shadowed figured rise of people in the background. Fifth image is a police man with a baton about to strike two workers, one with a sign that says, “we will fight until we win.” There is text below the image that says, “May 4, 1886.” The next scene is a black cannon ball being thrown in and a cartoon explosion happens and text jumps on the screen that says, “Haymarket massacre.” There is red building in the back and red fire under neath, disappearing the black shadowy figures of people. ] -- source link
