May 1st, the International Day of Struggle of the Working Class 2019, was a great expression of the international struggle against exploitation and oppression. Millions of workers and opressed people went on the streets! It was a lively expression of the strength of the most revolutionary forces in the world: the working class and the oppressed nations. It was a strong expression and blow against the imperialists and reactionaries!
The decision of implementing May 1st as the „International Day of Struggle of the Working Class“, with its mighty call „Proletarians of all countries, unite!“ was taken 130 years ago, by the great leader of the proletariat Friedrich Engels. The working class and the oppressed in all countries showed 130 years later, that this decision is still a powerful weapon and lives in the struggles today. Especially the revolutionary and communist forces all over the world showed another teaching of Marxism: The leading force of the proletariat with it‘s Party, the Communist Party and the struggle for unification worldwide, against revisionism and opportunism.
