For many years, on May 1st, a large number of workers around the world have poured into the streets with the call of parties, unions, and “left” political forces!! They raise the “Internationale” flag!!, hang a list of demands on it, sometimes complain about the explosive attacks of capitalists or capitalist states on the remnants of their immortal strength, and finally turn their complaints into whispers, slogans, speeches, resolutions, and the final decoration of the ceremony. What has been done and is being done throughout the world during these years, not only does not have any sign of a demonstration of power, criticism, protest, campaign, and class struggle of workers against capitalism, against wage slavery, against capital determined in the structure of order, politics, rights, civilization, state, and sovereignty, which is the opposite of it. In the language of begging, it is a dark scenario of self-deception, surrender, dissolution, and burial at the very edge of the order of valuation, reproduction, self-expansion, and perpetuation of the capitalist system. The basis for holding this ceremony in the current conditions in every corner of the world is the tacit, ideological, normal, hereditary, destined, and sustainable acceptance of workers to remain workers forever, to live as wage slaves, to be sellers of quasi-free labour, and to believe in the sanctity and survival of capitalism!! No worker takes to the streets and prepares to march until the all-out explosion of the inherent contradiction of capitalism’s existence with the basis of livelihood, welfare, freedom, human rights, and the living needs of billions of workers inhabiting the earth. He called the uncontrollable outburst of this universal contradiction the fundamental problem of the day, the explosion points of history, the real battlefield of the human liberation campaign. Everyone comes to perform the religious rituals of “May Day” like the pilgrims of the Kaaba, circumambulate the wage slavery system, in the “Sai Safa and Marwah” circumambulation, hang a handful of needs, vows, and needs on the wall of the house of the god of capital. Pray for the hungry to have their stomachs filled, wish for the unemployed to have jobs, and demand that banks pay loans to the homeless!! Several hundred million workers are performing these rituals to show international solidarity and commemorate the Chicago uprising in conditions where the world is saturated with capital accumulation. According to official capitalist institutions, the annual surplus value created by the working masses of the world has risen to $110 trillion. At the same time, the annual wages and total livelihood of 3 billion out of 6 billion working class people is $5 trillion, and the entire class is less than $20 trillion. Half of the world’s workers receive less than 7 percent and all workers receive more than 15 percent of their annual created values as the price of reproducing labour in all its possible forms. The average rate of surplus value globally is over 700 percent and in the hell of capitalism in Iran, it is over 1300 percent. The explosion of hunger born of capitalism everywhere, especially in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, takes the lives of dozens of workers and their children every minute. The genocidal system of wage slavery has deprived more than 2 billion of the world’s working masses of even having clean drinking water. It has deprived these same two billion of access to minimum health, medicine, treatment, and other basic necessities of life. It has completely destroyed nature, made all food and clothing pathogenic for humans, and brought deadly environmental pollution to the brink of explosion. It has made all these crimes and barbarities a reckless and rebellious agenda, perhaps to challenge the pressure of reducing interest rates and the crushing occurrence of crises. In the context of such a situation, only the predatory and inhumane government of America has spent one trillion dollars of the results of work and exploitation of the cursed people who lack water, medicine, treatment, food, and clothing in 2024 alone, on the killing of humanity in the world, on genocide, holocaust, barbarism, and ethnic cleansing in Palestine. It has provided hundreds of millions of tons of bombs to the cannibalistic and holocaust-making beast Israel to drop on two million children, infants, sick elderly people, injured mothers, disabled fathers of the Palestinians. For 20 months, several billion workers of the world have been watching this holocaust, more horrific than the Holocaust of the Nazi bourgeoisie, without stopping the wheel of production, vaporization, self-expansion, and the capitalist political order from turning for even an hour. The problem is not just the grave silence in the face of the Holocaust of Israel, America, and its allies in Gaza.
Point by point Africa, Asia, America, the world is a battlefield, competition, bombing, genocide of governments, poles, oppositions within the global capitalist class over how to redistribute the results of exploitation of the working class, the division of ownership shares, power, the rule of capital. It is the nature of capital to do so, but what it is doing now is intensifying the tsunami-like assault that began decades ago on the existence of the working class throughout the world. Every day it increases in intensity, scope, and scope, it is a forced reflection of the explosion of the capitalist crisis. An event that is historically unstoppable, uncontrollable, and without any cure. From cell to cell of this octopus’s existence, hunger, poverty, misery, devastation, displacement, genocide, destruction of nature, and boundless pollution of the environment rain down. The world is saturated with capital to an extreme degree, the living labour that is the object of capitalist exploitation is unable to produce the surplus value needed to reproduce and survive this terrible, cannibalistic, cancerous monster. If humanity is to survive, the scroll of existence of this system must be forever twisted.
In such a situation, the workers are ready to perform the rituals of May Day, the first and the last, the decoration of the ideal, the glory of their petition, boiling the cauldron of the generosity of capitalists and capitalist governments to increase the dirham and dinar of wages, the protection of democracy!!, the defence of “human rights” of wage slavery, “social justice” of capital is hanging!! There is no sign of the thunder of liberation on the forehead of this sea. All that is “bow to capital!” is the silky voice of obedience, submission to wage slavery, the oath of allegiance to remain a worker, living as a wage slave, being a seller of labour power. What we see is this, but “burning fire and successive victims” are not going to bring down the wrath of the god of capital. The storm of capital’s violence and sacrifice will not subside by accepting the prayer of democracy, the law of the land, civility, and reformism. The relentless redistribution of paid and unpaid labour of billions of workers to the detriment of the former and the benefit of the latter on the one hand, the storm of competition, war, and genocide over the division of profits, property, and sovereignty on the other, will cut through the entire lives of six billion workers like two sharp edges of a pair of scissors. These six billion have no choice but to fundamentally change the course of their campaign. The alternative to this path is to surrender to inevitable destruction. What will happen? Nothing is predetermined, there is no predetermined answer. Our call to billions of like-minded people around the world is to put together the arrangements and editing of capitalism, for the obvious reason that any effort in this direction will only tighten the noose of capital around its own throats and the throats of future generations of workers in the world. Suspended democracy, changing the governance model of capital under the banner of overthrow (so-called regime change), changing the form of capitalist ownership under the banner of “socialism”!!, interfering with human rights, legal struggle, launching civil campaigns, blowing into the horns of suspended capital movements of the “woman, life, freedom” type!! is nothing other than a fossil-like operation of settling accounts between different sections of the capitalist class, wearing down, dissolving, ruining and burying the power of one’s own class campaign in the cemetery of competition, commercialism and internal disputes of the ruling beast and the opposition bourgeoisie. We must put an end to these black scenarios serving the perpetuation of the wage slavery system and enter the field of true class struggle against capitalism. The anti-capitalist struggle has a clear, lucid, transparent, and inexplicable meaning. Simply beating the drum for wage increases and locking this increase into inflation or the poverty line is no sign of an anti-capitalist class struggle; on the contrary, it is a declaration of loyalty to the basis of wage slavery and its permanence, along with the demand for the price of reproducing labour power for the eternal sale of this commodity generation after generation. The opposite is true of the indictment of mastery over the fate of labour and production. Here, man is seen as a worker whose starting point is not always remaining a worker, a worker who, although currently a worker and forced to sell his labour, is against the basis of wage labour and capitalist exploitation. He is ready and fights to wrest as much and as large a share of the values he has created from the clutches of the capitalist beast and the capitalist system. It wants this larger share for its livelihood, well-being, and present human life, but it pursues its attainment not within the framework of submission to accepting the legitimacy and survival of capitalism, but precisely as a momentary step in the class struggle against wage labour. It demands complete, council, collective, conscious, capable, pervasive, socialist, and humane domination over all work, production, and life, but it is not able to realize this task for the time being. It does not make this inability a burden to the abyss of slavery to capital, it does not resort to the degenerate syndication of capital and the establishment of a bargaining table, surrender, and compromise with the capitalist hogs, but sets out to prepare, hand in hand with its chained comrades, to establish an organized, council, nationwide anti-capitalist movement of its class. The above example can be generalized and extended to the entire process of struggle between the working masses and the wage slavery system. Democracy and the pursuit of supra-class overthrow in any form, with any flag or colour, peaceful, violent, armed, even with the most controversial claims and manifestos, ultimately bury the working masses in the swamp of illusion to edit and embellish the inhumane capitalist system. But every step is an effort by every worker to establish an organized anti-capitalist council power, against any type of government above the head, against any interference of existing governments in the lives of people, to lay a stone on a stone, for an urgent, strong, planned, conscious, strong and growing struggle towards the liberation of man. An organized anti-capitalist council workers’ movement with a conscious field, and penetrating as many workers as possible is necessary to challenge every form of brutal gender apartheid by completely closing the cycle of work and production, to realize the demand for the elimination of women’s domestic work, the elimination of every form of economic dependence of women on their husbands, children on their parents by completely blocking the artery of capital production. Such a movement is needed to ensure and ensure the destruction of nature, the poisoning of food, water, air, every need of human life by a victorious indictment of the drying up of the source of production of these toxins in the capitalist production cycle. We must set about establishing this movement in every part of the world, a huge, global, internationalist movement in which fighting alongside the flag is the manifestation of a true campaign for the liberation of the human destiny.
