Workers of all Countries Unite!
Long Live International Working-class May Day!
Let us pledge on this May Day to intensify Revolutionary War against
Capitalism-Imperialism, Domestic Big Bourgeoisie and Feudalism to end the Imperialist war on the People of the World!
The
proletariat of the world is going to celebrate May day this year in the
situation of rising danger of another World War/atomic war. Imperialism
fell deep into the mire of general crisis and all its attempts to
overcome it have failed. So, the major imperialist countries are
contending for re-division of the world in a bid to gain hold on the
countries over the world for raw material and markets.
This is the
year of the 100th death Anniversary of the great Marxist teacher Comrade
Lenin. He said, ―Modern monopolist capitalism on a world-wide scale —
imperialist wars are absolutely inevitable under such an economic
system, as long as private property in the means oproduction exists‖ in
‗Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism‘.On this May Day, the
parties and organisations of the proletariat in all countries
demonstrate proletarian internationalism in various forms.
The celebrations of May Day once again strongly bring
forth
that there is ‗A World To Win‘. Monopoly capital is exploiting the
labour force like a leech in an increasingly unprecedented manner in
various forms. Accumulation of capital is going on in a large scale.
This is leading to sharpening of the fundamental contradictions at the
international level – 1. The contradiction between imperialism and
oppressed nationalities and people 2. The contradiction between
bourgeoisie and proletariat in capitalist, imperialist countries 3. The
contradictions among imperialist countries and among monopoly capitalist
groups.
Inequalities between the rich and the poor of the world are
increasing more and more. The billionaires are moving in the direction
of becoming trillionaires. Poverty is deepening to the extent of the
deepening of the world economic crisis. The greed of the imperialists
for profits is leading to social and environmental catastrophes all over
the world. People are being deprived of minimum social milieu due to
racism, fascism and war created by the capitalist-imperialists and
exploitive ruling classes.Flood or famine has become a normal feature of
any country. Global warming reached beyond limit.
Breaking the
records of 2023 that was said to be the warmest year until date, 2024
recorded maximum temperature in history in the first two months itself.
The
so called Third and Fourth Industrial revolutions are not innovations
for the development of humankind but connivances to accumulate more and
more capital by monopoly finance capital.
Technological development
is leading to large scale unemployment and destroying the development of
productive forces in all sectors. This is in stark contrast with the
world population that now reached 8 billion. It is also estimated that
it is increasing by 85 to 90 million every year. Artificial Intelligence
undermines human labour without which the world would not have been
what it is. Labourers are mainly engaged at dead cheap wages. In spite
of all its attempts, world capitalist-imperialist system is unable to
overcome the crisis.
Near facts show that in 2023, GDP growth rate
was 2.9 percent in US, 5.2 in China, 0.6 in France, -0.3 in Germany and
5.5 percent in Russia. Inflation was at 3.4 percent in US, - 0.3 percent
in China,4.1 in France, 3.8 in Germany and 7.4 in Russia. Unemployment
rate is 3.7 percent in US, 5.1 in China,7.3 in France, 3.1 in Germany
and 2.9 in Russia. We can understand that the imperialist economies are
in a vulnerable situation. This also explains that the world economic
crisis is further becoming a burden on the people of the world.
All
imperialist countries brought a heavy increase in defence and related
research after the Russia-Ukraine war. US allotted 858 billion dollars
in 2023. It is in the first place in international arms trade with a
share of 37 percent. The defence expenditure of China is at 225 billion
dollars. It is the 5th biggest arms exporter after US, Russia, France
and Germany. US is developing an utmost dangerous nuclear arms system,
the Conventional Prompt Global Strike (CPGS) for the past one decade. It
continues to hold military exercises with its allies in various parts
of the world.
The war situation is ever bringing forth the issue of
refugees. The situation is giving rise to racist sentiments and dividing
the working class people. Imperialist wars are creating lakhs of
refugees in the countries of imperialist war. While Ukrainian refugees
still do not find a proper living, Palestinian refugees are in worse
conditions. They lost their lands, homes, families and everything. The
Palestinian race is facing the danger of extinction. Israel Zionists
supported by US imperialists came out with their utmost anti-human
nature when they bombed the people waiting for food aid trucks.
Migrants
are another creation of the imperialist system. Poverty and
unemployment are leading the people of mostly the semi-colonial,
semi-feudal countries to mostly capitalist-imperialist countries in
search of work. The UN‘s International Organisation of Migrants (IOM)
came out with data that 281 million international migrants involved in
both manual and mental labour, create 10 percent of the global output.
Above half a lakh people of the world have either died or disappeared in
their attempt to migrate.
Pandemic is one danger the human race is
increasingly becoming prone to, due to the activities of the merciless
monopoly capital. Scientists warn that any new pandemic might lead to
the death of nearly 5 crore people all over the world.
The war in
Palestine is showing effect on the neighbouring countries mainly
Lebanon, Iran and Yemen. Germany, an important ally of the US is facing
pressure from the people of the country for supporting Israel in the
case filed in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) against its
genocide on Palestine. ICJ brushed away the issue with simply saying no
to genocide. With mounting pressure from the people of the country and
the world, the US was forced to make a statement against killing of
people in Palestine. It was not against war. The people of the world are
more and more realising that imperialists need war and that they need
to fight the imperialist war.
The imperialist countries are facing crisis domestically also. There were large scale
demonstrations
against the fascist AfD party in Germany, in the capital city Berlin.
People held demonstrations in around 100 places over the country against
the move of the government for mass deportations of migrants and
refugees. The Supreme Court of Israel passed a judgment on the first day
of this year against the reforms in judiciary, proposed by the
government last year. It also warned that the government has no right to
govern the judiciary or go against the Constitution.
The ruling
classes of the capitalist-imperialist and semi-colonial, semi-feudal
countries are hectically trying to retain their power through elections.
But the people have realised the falsity of elections. Vote almost
turned into mere rigging. The people of the world no longer have
illusions in the ruling classes. They believe in struggle and struggle
alone to better their lives.
The economic, political situation of the
world is leading to struggles all around the world, to those of the
workers, peasants, middle bourgeoisie, the women, the indigenous and
every oppressed class and section. The year 2024 witnessed remarkable
struggles of workers, especially in the imperialist countries.
Auto-workers
started a big strike that started from the US and spread to Canada. In
Germany,air and rail workers went on strike in March demanding better
pay. The strike brought the traffic almost to a stop. Farmers of Italy,
Spain and other European countries held a demonstration in Brussels
protesting the laws of the European Commission, coinciding when an EU
summit was going on. The laws relate to green regulations and cheap
imports that end agriculture. This apart there were demonstrations in
Portugal, France, Belgium and Greece. Public sector workers of North
Ireland were on a 24-hour strike in January this year. They demanded pay
hike that was stopped for the past three years in spite of rise in cost
of living. Cargo workers of Oakland port of US stopped a war ship
taking arms for Israel.
Coming to other countries, in India farmers
once again took to struggle for Minimum Support Price for their crops.
Indigenous people are demanding their rights on the forests and they are
continuing their militant struggles for last 4 years. Workers are
taking up periodic general strikes together with Bank Employees Unions
and those in other public sector enterprises. Garment workers of
Bangladesh, the major garment exporting country to the Western countries
are on strike demanding pay hike and better working conditions. Doctors
in South Korea are on strike against the government‘s proposal to
increase medical school admissions by 65 percent.
Women are
increasingly facing the wrath of imperialist policies. They are a source
of cheap and reserve labour for policies of globalisation. 76 percent
of all unpaid activities of health sector are done by women, according
to a report of the World Health Organisation. There is increasing
domestic and state violence on women. About one and a half lakh women of
Mexico came together on the International Women‘s Day to protest
violence on them. Nearly 10 women were killed every day in the country
in 2023. Similar situation is seen in many parts of the world.
The
indigenous people of Brazil are making struggles against the burning of
Amazon forest by the governments in the interest of imperialist
projects. The tribal people of Eastern and Central India and other
states are fighting against their displacement forced by the government
in favour of the domestic comprador bureaucratic bourgeoisie and big
landlords. Tribes of few African and other Latin American countries are
in the path of struggle for their right to land, forest and water.
Students, teachers and people of all walks of life came out into the
streets to condemn Israel‘s war on Palestine, in several countries of
the world including United Kingdom and United States. Two and a half
lakh people held a demonstration in front of the White House demanding a
stop to war on Palestine and US involvement in it. The first black
President of Harvard University was forced to resign for she spoke
against Zionism. These sections, employees, the unemployed and other
sections affected out of imperialist globalisation policies are more and
more coming into the streets. Almost every country in the world is in
flames of struggle of one or the other kind.
The Communist
parties in semi-colonial, semi-feudal India, Philippines and Turkey are
in the path of Protracted People‘s War. They are uniting and building
struggles among the workers, peasants,petty bourgeoisie and national
bourgeoisie and all the oppressed sections against imperialism, big
bourgeoisie and big landlords. The areas of the revolutionary movement
are being bombed through drones and there is intense repression in
various forms amidst which the people and the party are marching
forward. The struggles of the oppressed people and oppressed
nationalities of the world suggest that they are increasingly realising
the only path for their liberation, the path of revolution.
Release
of political prisoners is one issue of concern that the proletarian
forces need to address in a stronger manner. In a bid to retain their
exploitation and oppression, the imperialists, bourgeoisie and landlords
are indulging in more and more ruthless forms of repression. Thousands
of revolutionaries, democrats and people‘s activists are in the enemy
dungeons. We need to bring more pressure on the governments for their
release.
The proletarian parties of the world must accomplish New
Democratic Revolutions in the path of Protracted People‘s War in
semi-colonial, semi-feudal countries; Socialist revolution in
capitalist-imperialist countries. Therefore, we must build determined
Bolshevik parties that construct proletarian People‘s Army and
Revolutionary United Front. These parties must work in mutual
solidarity. It is the duty of the world proletarian parties to build and
unite the anti-imperialist struggles and nationality liberation
struggles. These must strengthen enough so as to ‗transform the
imperialist war into a civil war‘, fight against imperialism, domestic
comprador bureaucratic bourgeoisie and big landlords. Only thus we can
establish Socialism and later Communism where there is no space for
exploitation and oppression.
Yes. This is the ‗dawn of
proletarian revolution‘. On this day of the International Working Class,
the Communists pledge to strengthen proletarian internationalism,
through struggles among workers, peasants and other oppressed classes
and nationalities of the world. They pledge to unite these classes
against imperialism and all sorts of reaction and all shades of
revisionism and neo-revisionism. They pledge to make efforts to unite
with forces against imperialism and for the liberation of nationalities.
They pledge to intensify class struggle in all spheres, to continue to
extend support to the struggles of the oppressed classes and sections.
Long live Proletarian Internationalism!
Down with Imperialism!
Down with revisionism and neo-revisionism!
Long live Marxism-Leninism-Maoism!
Let us unite in the efforts for World Socialist Revolution
