"Italy doesn't. They used to have the 2nd largest communist party outside of the Soviet Union."

Interesting.

However, countries were adopting May 1 as Labor Day well before communism existed. Because the movement that was involved in those riots was also responsible for the 8 hour work day. The US came close to doing that in the 1880s, but there was a fear that the riots would be the focus and not the work day regulations.
