May 1st is the
solidarity day of the working class. It is
the day the workers worldwide express their
protest against the capitalist system and
call for ending the world and the system of
oppression, hunger, poverty, coercion and
exploitation.
The workers in Iraq
receive May Day this year while living amid
the dark scenario of the war, occupation and
sectarian fighting, which have destroyed the
pillars of civil society, pushed it decades
back and destroyed any possibility for the
masses to live a secure and normal life.
Amid this dark scenario,
the USA administration pursuing its
reactionary gaols and interests and under
the name of liberating the Iraqi masses and
building democracy has imposed an unjust and
bloody war and occupation on these masses.
The USA and its warmongering policies have
divided the society along false sectarian
and ethnocentric identities and lines and
deprived the society of its human identity
and the people of their right to equal
citizenship. On the other hand the war and
the occupation have prepared the ground for
the Islamic gangs and militias in Iraq to
push forward their outdated and reactionary
policies and schemes.
On May Day this year the
workers of Iraq are passing through the
harshest historical period ever. Not only
the Iraqi workers’ wages, working hours,
social security, basic rights and gains won
through long years of hard struggle are
under attack but their physical existence as
well is in danger. The occupation, sectarian
war and pillaging the country’s wealth have
turned the lives of workers in Iraq to a
real hell. The Iraqi working class is
engaged in a great struggle against the
occupation, its puppet government and gangs
and militias of all sections of political
Islam. They and their progressive
organizations are in striving to end the
occupation, curb these brutal militias and
rebuild the civil society.
To liberate themselves of
these conditions, end the war and
occupation, rebuild the civil society and
establish a secular non-ethnocentric
government, the Iraqi workers and masses
need the support of workers and libertarian
people worldwide.
Therefore the workers,
and labour organizations across the world
and in particular in the USA, Britain and
other advanced countries should be in the
forefront of the world’s forces seeking to
end the plight of the Iraqi workers and
masses. Without doubt, the victory of the
Iraqi workers will be a victory for the
front of workers, libertarian and humanist
people worldwide against the capitalist
system and its savage policies.
Let’s make May 1 this
year a day to step up the support of the
world’s workers and libertarian people to
the workers and progressive masses of Iraq.
The Iraqi workers and their organizations
are in urgent need to an active role and
intervention by the world’s civilized
humanity in their support in this struggle.
Support the heroic and just struggle of the
Iraqi workers and masses in all possible
ways.
Long live May1!
Long live workers’
internationalism!
Long live socialism!
