People seem to know about May Day everywhere except where it began, here in the United States of America. That's because those in power have done everything they can to erase its real meaning.
Interpretation
What this quote means
May Day's true significance is often overlooked due to the influence of those in power.
Noam Chomsky highlights the irony that while May Day is recognized globally as a day for workers and labor rights, its origins and meaning are obscured in the United States. He suggests that this erasure is a deliberate act by those in authority who wish to diminish the historical and cultural significance of the day, reflecting broader themes of power and control over narratives in society.

African countries lose the most from tax dodging. African governments must, therefore, do more to push for a full reform of the global tax system and demand action from countries, such as the U.K., whose financial centres sit at the heart of the global network of tax havens.
