BARCELONA, SPAIN, May 1—The working class, tired of politicians enslaving their lives with miserable wages, pensioners seeing how they destroy their life savings, the students seeing how they raise the cost of their tuition and the worker seeing how they evict people from their homes, went into the streets this May Day, with the goal and courage to protest against the Capitalist System.
The International Communist Workers’ Party distributed 500 copies of Red Flag in Barcelona, because we know that by spreading the ideas among the masses and organizing to build Communism, we will find the solution for all the evils faced by the working class.
We met the old members of the former “Red Flag” that in the 1970’s worked under the Communist Organization of Spain. Those of the old Red Flag were happy, but at the same time they saw that we do not support unions or elections. They gave a quick look and said to each other, “It’s not the same.”
I told them that everything changes and nothing is static, that Red Flag is the Marxist-Leninist political line, which is directed by dialectical materialism. Therefore, yes, before we fought for socialism and we have seen that it failed and so we cannot allow the same error again. That’s why we fight directly for communism and we invite them to join this struggle. They took several copies of Red Flag. They said they would analyze it and will communicate with us.
In general our activity was an effective step in the struggle to achieve our goal of freeing the masses from the slavery, borders and racism that exist today. We are ICWP and this May Day we have told the bosses that we are at war against them and that we are going to defeat them.
We are planning regular meetings every two or three weeks coinciding with the publication of Red Flag. From that base we will try to follow the example of the comrades in the US of visiting factories to spread the ideas through the newspaper and try to recruit more comrades. We will start to plan this activity this month. We could count more or less on distributing at least 50 to 75 copies of Red Flag of each edition that is produced.
LONG LIVE MAY DAY!
LONG LIVE ICWP!
