May Day!

Today is Mayday, international day of workers struggle all over the world.
On this day all progressive peoples forces unite under the banner of humanity and march with hope for a new world, a better world.

Many great Socialist developments have happened in the world as of late. In Cuba, President Fidel Castro met with President Evo Morales (Bolivia) and President Hugo Chavez (Venezuela), and signed an agreement between the three nations based on the principals of Socialism, and opposition to United States interests. In Bolivia, President Morales has nationalized all resources in the name of the Bolivian people. In Nepal, parliamentary democracy has been restored by the combined efforts of the People of Nepal and the Maoist peoples vanguard. In the United States an estimated 20 million people, mostly of Latin American descent, protested against the fascist immigration policies proposed by the American government, virtually shutting down many areas of their country as they tried to assert their rights as human beings.

These are only some of the many struggles being waged by the people of the world in defense of their rights.

At this time, more than any other since the end of the cold war, a better world is in sight. The first stages of socialism, and eventually the society of communist man, can be glimpsed in the distance.

Of course, it isn't all progressive and positive; The United States continues to regress further into fascism. The legitimacy of the Belarusian elections is being denounced by all of the powers that be, including Canadian Prime Minister Stephan Harper ( Ironic for a man who got into power on under 40 % of the vote.). The conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan and Haiti still rage, as the people struggle against their imperial occupiers, with no end in sight.

As Marx said, perhaps the stage of Capitalism is in it's final days, the last conflict between the forces of the old world and the new. In order for the human race to prosper, the forces of the new world must triumph. In the name of the human race, Socialism must triumph!
