Violent Labor Day demonstrations are an integral part of German festive culture. But whereas in previous years the opposing political groups were as easy to tell apart as soccer teams, left wing and right wing participants this season look more and more alike. Black sunglasses, black pants, black sweater, black balaclava seems to be the way to go. And since the police follows this style guide as well, it can be pretty hard to find the black block you politically identify with. I suggest you enjoy May Day from the privacy of your own home and build your personal one-man/one-woman black block. It might not be as much fun, but it sure is safer.
