Let’s Mobilize for a Mass Communist May Day in 2016

BIGGER    SMALLER

LOS ANGELES, CA—Next year May Day falls on Sunday.  The ICWP Los Angeles Steering Committee has decided that our worker and student contingents will march together, as communists, under the red flags and banners of our Party.
Starting now, we are making plans for a mass march. Each club must have a plan that includes study groups, protests, mass distribution of Red Flag, recruitment, and a general invitation to the march.
The members of ICWP call on all workers, friends, relatives and all the readers of Red Flag to make May Day 2016 a day to mobilize the masses for communism.
We will raise high the red flags of communism to show the rest of the working class that we can build a communist world without bosses, borders and exploitation. We will destroy the current capitalist system that threatens our lives with constant economic crises and with the bosses’ plans for World War III.
With communism, we will eliminate money and classes. There won’t be any means of control over another human being. The relationship of boss-worker will be destroyed. We won’t have the situation where some live in exaggerated luxury while others have nothing to eat. We’ll work to meet our needs, not so that a few can live well off our sweat.
In the capitalist system, only a handful of human beings control the vast majority of all the wealth of the world. The rest of us have barely enough to spend on paying the rent and buying the food that keeps us alive so we can go back to the capitalists’ factories the next day.
Between boom times for the bosses, there have been serious economic crises when they need to eliminate workers via their many wars. With two world wars, in the wake of the deaths of millions, two communist parties arose with millions of members to take power in Russia and China. It is up to the workers of today to make a real communist revolution, forming a worldwide Party of millions. 
For the working-class majority, a future rich in humanity awaits us, but first we have to struggle to learn how to defend our class. The bosses are predators and will not easily give up their privileges. We workers have to organize for a communist revolution.
Marching next May Day as communists will be a great advance for our party and our class because we will boldly put forward our vision of a new world. It will also be a big blow to the bosses who think that the world belongs to them and that no one opposes them.
Let’s organize more workers, soldiers, students, and their families to take to the streets on that day to remember the martyrs of Chicago and all those who have fought for a better world. But more than anything, we’ll say to the workers that we’re not asking the bosses for reforms, but instead we’ll take power away from them and  build our own communist world. Join us!
