I think it's a bit early for OWS to make grandiose calls lot action like that. I think they've got a bit of work to do to regain the momentum they lost over the winter. It just makes the movement look weaker when they make big calls that end up fizzling out (as I think this one will).

May 1st is International Workers Day. I agree that it is silly, because it is May Day. But it has been adopted by labor movements across the world, and the pro-Communist connotations are just a part of it.
