Celebrate the Might of Workers This May Day

Why does Progressive Labor Party fight for communism? Because capitalism doesn’t work for our class. It doesn’t work when racist kkkops murder hundreds of black and Latino youth in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York City. It doesn’t work when U.S. drones kill over a thousand civilians in Pakistan. It doesn’t work when the capitalists’ austerity in Europe throws millions of workers onto the streets. It doesn’t work when Obama deports 1.6 million immigrant workers. It doesn’t work when mainly women workers in Bangladesh are burned alive in textile factories with locked exit doors. It doesn’t work when schools and hospitals all over the country are shut down. It doesn’t work when hundreds of thousands of families near Mexico City are threatened with being flooded out of their homes because of the government’s hydro project. And it doesn’t work when the South African government massacres striking miners.
Truth is, capitalism has never worked for the working class. It is a system built on robbing, lynching, and terrorizing us. It breeds divisive racist and sexist ideologies that prevent us from seeing each other as part of one struggle, one class, one fight. The bosses engage in cutthroat competition on a world scale, leading to wars — wars paid in workers’ blood.
If blood must be shed, let it be the bosses’. Workers, students, and soldiers — turn the guns around.
We have a vision for communism, a system where there is no exploitation, no wages, no racism, no sexism, and no borders. What we would have is a society run by workers, where each person works according to their commitment, and each receives according to their need. Communism is an egalitarian society.
How can such a world be possible? We need revolution! It can only be won by organizing to overthrow these bosses and their state under the revolutionary force of a mass party of millions, PLP. Together, we can conquer the world. Every action we take counts in building for revolution. 
So, join Progressive Labor Party as we march in Mexico, Pakistan, Palestine, Haiti, United States, El Salvador, Colombia, and more! From the beginning, May Day stood for working-class internationalism. Workers have been fighting against exploitation since capitalism’s birth. Let us honor our class, from the 1886 Chicago General Strike from which May Day was born, to the first successful workers’ state in the Soviet Union, to the great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in China, to each and every one of our current battles.
Workers, we have a world to win. Together, we can create a system that works and rules society for us who do all the work and produce everything of value. Join us this May Day!
