All across the world May Day is a day of international working class struggle and a day that celebrates the renewal of spring. In Free Outer Eugenia it is also the commemoration of the beginning our springtime, our victorious struggle against the iron fist of capitalism.

From the small villages of the Big Rock Candy Mountains to the populous urban communes of the coast, the people of Free Outer Eugenia are preparing to celebrate the 90th anniversary of their Revolution. On May 1, 1917 the revolutionary syndicalist Eugenian Federation of Workers seized an arsenal in New Krocsport belonging to the Cartel's sham "Republic," and distributed the weapons to the city's laborers. By nightfall the city was free and had a new name: Port Bakunin. The revolution continued for the next fifty years until the whole of Eugenia had thrown off the yoke of corporate imperialism, though the old regime had been largely contained in a diminishing sphere of control around Fort Vanderbilt for forty-four years. The Federated Anarchist Communes were established in 1918, and by 1920 most of the Outer Eugenian mainland was under the workers' control.

The revolution was fueled by a fusion of an underground syndicalist labor union that had formed during the years of industrialization and the native and slave uprisings that had been raging since the early years of colonization. The traditional consensus-based collectivism of the Native Eugenians and the anarchist syndicalism of the EFW formed the foundation of the post-revolutionary order.

The Eugenian Social Revolution spread across the region giving rise to the Anarchist Federation of Free Soviets, the communes of the Refused Party Program and the libertarian socialist order of the islands now known as Sacco and Vanzetti.

Now communes all across Eugenia are festooning themselves with colorful banners, putting the finishing touches on commemorative murals, songs, and sculptures and generally preparing to party.

“And tonight, I would like to announce a minute of silence to the 90th anniversary of the Outer Eugenian socialist pseudo-anarchist regime. Let us remember the fifty years of struggle in which the anti-communist forces struggled vaguely against the forces of darkness before being swallowed up whole. Let us remember the valiant defenders of Vanderbilt Island and of Fort Carnegie! Let us remember the valiant warriors that fought day and night against the unholy communist horde!”

“Let us drink for the anniversary of the Free Outer Eugenian Revolution. Let us toast that it may become the last one celebrated by the Outer Eugenian regime!”
