FIGHT FOR COMMUNISM! | |
International Communist Workers Party | |
EL SALVADOR—In the May Day March, groups of ICWP members participated from several areas of the country in an ICWP contingent. Carrying a large banner with the main call of our party “Mobilize the Masses for Communism,” also dressed in red shirts identifying our Party, made the communist contingent in the march very colorful.
The International Communist Workers’ Party marched to commemorate the historic struggles of the working class and with a call to organize directly for Communism. For the third consecutive year we mobilized farmworkers, students, teachers, and men and women workers of the textile maquilas. The workers arrived in a disciplined manner at the site of the march, punctually and with great enthusiasm to participate in this great demonstration of the working class, showing that communism is being built in the working class.
The participation of the youth collective encouraged all those present since they achieved the goal of distributing our newspaper Red Flag and the communist leaflet to those who participated in the march and to the people whose jobs were in buildings on the route of the march. Some did not wait to get home to read it; they read it as soon as they got it.
The experience is always encouraging since the workers ask for Red Flag.
“You haven’t given one to me,” said a worker.”
“Here are some for everyone,” I responded.
The participation of women ICWP leaders was significant, organizing this activity with authority, and thereby giving an example to more women to join ICWP to end the system that subjects millions of women every day to exploitation all over the world.
Other comrades also did a great job distributing the leaflet and Red Flag in the intersections where people waited in their vehicles for the march to pass by. It was also well received there.
After having marched through the main streets of San Salvador, the contingent of factory workers went to another place and shared some delicious pupusas, forming closer ties with several workers who participated for the first time in the march. During this activity, they expressed their interest in organizing in ICWP.
This has been a day of struggle. As the ICWP leaflet said: let’s fight directly for communism, not for reforms.
