May 1st, International Workers’ Day, is the day to show the determination and will of workers and millions of wealth-creating people in protest against inequality, injustice, and the trampling of human dignity by the utterly vile system of wage slavery and the domination of a handful of parasitic, exploitative capitalists who have taken the inhabitants of the planet hostage.
The world is drowning in a whirlpool of endless crises, inhumanity, war, terrorism, hunger, unemployment, displacement, the rise of fascism and racism, misogyny, environmental destruction and a multitude of immense dangers to humanity. This is a part of the dark record of the contemporary capitalist system.
On May Day, alongside the ranks of workers and protesting people around the world, we will bring to the streets the banner of humanity’s liberation from capitalism — the banner of socialism — against this abhorrent order that capitalism has created.
The Islamic Republic is one of the most abhorrent, criminal, reactionary, and inhuman capitalist regimes of this era. On May Day, we will be the voice of the Woman, Life, Freedom movement against the rule of mafia gangs of billionaire ayatollahs in Iran. A regime that three months ago, in January 2026, gunned down thousands of people in dozens of cities across Iran, and which now, even in the midst of war, is brutally attacking the people and political activists by executions and an internet blackout.
With the support of workers, labour organisations and progressive parties around the world, we aim to turn the complete rejection and boycott of the Islamic Republic — the regime of Islamic Holocaust in Iran — into an international demand. The Islamic Republic is not the representative of the people of Iran; it is their killer, and must be expelled from all international bodies, including the International Labour Organisation. The place of the criminals ruling Iran is not at diplomatic tables, but behind prison bars.
We will be the voice of the just struggles of the people of Iran and the world in May Day rallies and marches across the globe. Join us and raise the banner of Woman, Life, Freedom!
Long live socialism! Long live freedom and equality!
