Spreading Communist Ideas in Spain and Portugal
SPAIN, May 7— Thousands of workers took to the streets in Spain to declare that the working class is growing increasingly fed up with this deadly system. There were many banners protesting the imperialists’ war, racism, and the precarious conditions workers face every day.
With Red Flags in hand, we participated in the May Day march. We distributed 500 copies, proclaiming that there is a solution to all the problems we workers face, and announcing that the day is drawing ever closer when we, the working class, will defeat capital, destroy it, and build a new world! A COMMUNIST WORLD led by all the workers of the world through a single party: The International Communist Workers’ Party.
As on every May Day, people approached us to ask for Red Flag, always driven by the need to find solutions to the problems of slavery, racism, and war. With great enthusiasm from Spain, we have spread communist ideas among workers. Let’s continue to join the struggle for the construction of a new world.
After May Day, we met up with some friends in Lisbon (Portugal) who are active in environmental movements. They had also marched in Lisbon. We got together and gave them a couple of copies of Red Flag. We talked about the wars and how the imperialists are only interested in their profits at the expense of the slaughter in Gaza, the West Bank, Ukraine, Lebanon, and Sudan.
We talked about how political parties do the same thing everywhere. As in El Salvador, where they use technology to portray the country as free, yet it is a place of totalitarianism where you can only speak well of their leaders. If you oppose the government, they will surely retaliate.
The friends in Lisbon sent their regards to everyone, and we will stay in touch with them.
