The first of May –the Day of the working class, is a day to
remember and honour the workers who gave their lives for the rights of the
working class. It symbolizes its struggle to liberate itself from wage slavery
and to abolish the exploitation of man by man, for socialism-communism. We
continue to openly declare our aims, we address a call to the working men and
women all over the world: the rotten capitalist system based on exploitation
cannot be improved, it can only be overthrown. The EU cannot be improved and
capitalism cannot become people-friendly. No management of this barbaric
exploitative system can constitute a way out for the people. The only way out
is the overthrow of the power of the monopolies, the socialization of the means
of production. Viva socialism!
We raise the significance of this important day for all
workers, when here in Europe millions of people are jobless, mainly from the
younger generation, when poverty is expanding. The future of the youth is
seriously endangered. Basic rights of the working class are restricted, women
are being discriminated against, poor farmers are being ruined and the
self-employed are oppressed by the monopolies. The barbaric capitalist path of
development is being followed all over Europe either with the management of the
social-democrats, new or old, or with the liberals, with or without memoranda,
regardless of a country’s relationship or association with the EU. This day
symbolizes the demands on the path of class struggle, for permanent and stable work
with rights, for all the contemporary needs of the working class and other poor
popular strata that are being suffocated. It means fighting for the
emancipation of the workers from employer-led trade unionism and the
compromised leaderships.
Today’s May the First takes place in a period which is
characterized by the strengthening of fascism, for example in Ukraine, which 70
years after the Great Anti-fascist Victory of the Peoples is being
provocatively backed by the EU, the USA and NATO and their imperialist
interventions that heroize those who collaborated with the Nazis! We reject the
imperialist wars as intensely as we reject exploitation and the system that
creates it. We reject the interference of imperialism inside independent
states. We struggle for peace against the unjust wars. We commit all our forces
so that the events to honour May 1 and
as well as those for the 70th anniversary of the Great Antifascist Victory of
the Peoples will be massive and
successful.
Communist and Workers’ parties from all over the Europe
gathered in ‘The European Communist Initiative’ and fight against the EU
monopolies and their power. They
confront and oppose the crude anti-communist propaganda, the bans, the
obstacles and restrictions on the activity of Communist Partie
s which are promoted by the EU.
The EU which provocatively and anti-historically equates communism with
fascism.
We address ourselves
to you, working men and women, youth, pensioners, with the message - the unity
of our class is necessary against the offensive of capital, the alliance with
all the poor oppressed strata is our path.
Today, capital’s forces know their reign is coming to an
end. Hope is to be found in the struggle for our contemporary rights against
the monopolies and their power. PROLETARIANS OF ALL COUNTRIES, UNITE.
