Hundreds of thousands of people marched this May Day in Mexico City. They were from unions and independent groups like the miners, workers from educational centers, cleaning, metro, CTE (Community and Technical Education workers), telephone workers, farmworkers, environmentalists, people fighting forced disappearances, electrical workers, etc. There were thousands of angry people marching through the streets, with signs and leaflets. Workers singing or chanting demanding the government give them their “rights,” demanding “justice.” But what justice can we expect from a government that only serves the capitalist bosses? What justice can we expect from a government that is a fundamental part of capitalism?
Our newspaper Red Flag was very clear about that. Exposing the government and the bosses, we said loudly as we gave out the paper, “No to Reform, Yes to Revolution.” “Let’s fight for a world where each receives according to their needs and each contributes according to their capacity and commitment.” We also said, “Let’s not be fooled by the capitalist bosses.” “Let’s unite in one single struggle, a struggle for a communist world.”
The workers warmly received our newspaper, read it and asked for more. As they walked or sat, they did not reject it. They asked, “What does the paper say?” “What is your goal?” “We need a newspaper like this.” They took it happily.
Self-critically, 750 papers were insufficient for the hundreds of thousands of people and insufficient for the people who helped distribute it, who this day responded to the call of our international working class. This call inspires us to continue struggling along with our comrades in the rest of the world, from South Africa to India, in Latin America, the Middle East, the US and where ever our party with its clear political line is responding to the needs of our working class to finally free itself from the capitalist bosses.
This May Day we joined with the voices of the workers of the world and with the view of those who one day are not going to ask permission, or who from now on do not ask permission. We say: Long live our international working class! Long live Communism.
