In
just over one week, on May 5 at 5:30 PM EDT, the International
Committee of the Fourth International will hold its annual May Day
Online Rally. This year, the event coincides with the 200th anniversary
of the birth of Karl Marx. the greatest philosopher of modern history
and the founder of scientific socialism. Marx's call: “Workers of the
world unite!” resonates today amid an eruption of the class struggle on
every continent.
The capitalist system, based on the exploitation of the working class, is wracked by crisis.
All over the world, the ruling elites seek to protect their wealth and
save this bankrupt system by resorting to war and repression. The
governments and corporations are censoring the Internet out of fear that
this revolutionary source for information and communication can link
workers across the world in a common struggle against inequality,
dictatorship and war.
The international online rally will include participants from dozens of
countries worldwide. Speakers will include leaders of the Fourth
International from around the world.
We urge you to make plans to attend this historic event. It will be broadcast live at wsws.org/mayday.
Register today, and please make a donation to help cover the costs of these and other events.
Sincerely,
The World Socialist Web Site |
