Today working class
people will be celebrating our holiday. The 1st of
May is traditionally the day of international workers’ solidarity, celebrated
by class fighters around the world. May Day is an occasion for socialists and
activists to renew their pledges to fight for a different society – a socialist
society. It is also the day for honouring the founders of the socialist and
trade union movement. It is a time where we pay tribute to their contributions
and their sacrifices. Also May Day we pay our respects to all the martyrs of
the class struggle and the victims of wars and civil wars brought about by
capitalist greed and exploitation. It is a time to remember those who daily
risk their lives in the factories, fields and building sites to create profit
for their masters, eking out a living for themselves and their families. Also
today the task is restoring the real meaning of May Day and reviving the
traditions of the pioneers of the workers’ movement. May Day is the day to
galvanise the workers for the class battles to come. The World Socialist
Movement (WSM) reasserts its firm commitment to the goal of socialism and
socialist ideals and its firm resolve to continue its fight for ending the
exploitative system of capitalism. Unity and struggle are our weapons in our
fight against exploitation.
The most decisive struggles to transform the world on
socialist lines still lies ahead. The WSM appeals to the working class to develop
solidarity across industries and across borders to defeat the attacks on on
their livelihoods and lives. The WSM appeals to the entire working class to be
vigilant against any attempts to divide us and disrupt unity in whatever name –
nationality, raceor gender. The workers have nothing to lose but their chains.
They have a world to gain. Workers of the world—unite!
