May Day

In The Dawn of Everything, Graeber & Wengrow write:

May Day came to be chosen as the date for the international workersā€™ holiday largely because so many British peasant revolts had historically begun on that riotous festival. Villagers who played at ā€˜turning the world upsideā€™ would periodically decide they actually preferred the world upside down, and took measures to keep it that way.

Most peasantsā€™ revolts are eventually suppressed, but sometimes, they topple empires.
