Take up the Red Flag on May First
May First is the revolutionary holiday of the international proletariat--the worldwide class with nothing to lose but its chains, and the class that can lead all humanity to a world without slavery in any form. On May First, the proletariat affirms its internationalist outlook: The proletarians have no country, and a mission to bring about a world where no more borders define relations of exploitation and oppression.
This year, May First also will be marked by immigrants' rights demonstrations in many cities in the US. The fact that these protests are happening on May First presents an exciting opportunity and challenge for readers and distributors of Revolution. We call on our readers to go all out for May First, and relate to these immigrants' rights protests and other events in several ways:
1. Raise the Red Flag!
The red flag of the international proletariat must be boldly and dramatically present at the May First demonstrations. This flag calls on our people to be emancipators of humanity -- representatives of the historic mission of our class worldwide. (See the article “Story of the Red Flag” on the history and significance of the red flag). Bring all the red flags you can make to these protests, get them out to people, along with this issue of Revolution, with its back page poster, “We Are Human Beings. We Demand a Better World. We Will Not Accept Slavery in Any Form.”
2. Connect people with Bob Avakian
In order for people to understand that there is a way out of this madness, what that is, and how they can act now to change things, they need to connect with Bob Avakian. Revolution newspaper, including this May First issue features contributions by Bob Avakian, including the excerpt from his Memoir, From Ike to Mao and Beyond..., and “Resistance, Revolution, and What Should--and Should Not--Be Supported” in the centerspread of this issue.
Especially on May First, we need to get out hundreds, and thousands of a couple of highly accessible audio tracks by Bob Avakian. One is the audio file, “Why Do People Come Here From All Over the World,” from the DVD Revolution: Why It's Necessary, Why It's Possible and What It's All About--in both English and Spanish. Another is the Ghetto Remix--a musical track that includes bites of a speech by Bob Avakian. (The audio from the Revolution DVD can be downloaded at www.revcom.us, or www.bobavakian.net and burned onto CDs. The Revolution... DVD can be ordered from threeQvideo.com. And the track Ghetto Remix featuring Akon, Miles Solay, Koba and Bob Avakian can be downloaded at http://www.nosheetsleft.com/ghettoremix/).
And, get out and listen to downloaded CDs or MP3s of Bob Avakian reading from his memoir, “From Ike to Mao and Beyond--My Journey From Mainstream America to Revolutionary Communist” (download the audio files from www.revcom.us, or www.bobavakian.net).
3. In a number of cities, celebrations of May First will be held at Revolution Books stores or outlets, or at other venues. Check the Contact Us box on page 2 and get in touch with the address or phone number nearest you. Or, organize your own May First celebrations. Play the “Why Do People Come Here From All Over the World” track, and the “Imagine...” track, and the final track, “A Challenge and a Call: Get With the Party” from the Revolution DVD. Organize people to buy, watch, and discuss the whole Revolution... DVD, and to subscribe to and distribute Revolution newspaper. These get-togethers should have a real flavor of proletarian internationalism--celebrating a common international struggle, led by the proletariat, to transform the whole world from the world full of horrors imposed by the workings of the current imperialist system.
4. Involve the Youth
Reach out to, challenge, and involve youth in all this. Where youth are refusing to be chained into their high schools, and accept what the system offers them, the red flag should be a big presence.
5. Correspond with Revolution about your experiences on May First through www.revcom.us, or by writing to us at:

"Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin sliting throats.". --HL Mencken
Damn sad...damn sad. I guess every man has gone 'metro' while I was away. Damn sad.
Notice that upside down American flag?
What is happening under the radar is that the alien lobby, certain elements of radical Islam, and some on the Left share common goals, tactics, and exploitations of our system and society.
The real question is this. What will we do about it? Sadly, probably nothing.
Illegal alien invaders = liberal, socialists
They are in the reddest state, home of our President G.W. Bush, TEXAS!
MSM doesn't report the bloody fights going on at the part that borders with Texas and mexico.
Red States have more illegal aliens with the exception of BLUE state California.
Deport ,liberals, deport illegal aliens they are libs!
And sadly they are being allowed to, if May 1 doesn't convince Congress to deport, no amnesty and get down to the border and shut it tight, nothing will!
"a day without latinos" is not enough we prefer every day without latino's is a GREAT day!
I can't wait for Monday! Once some of the people who have been avoiding this problem have their eyes open, WE will have OUR turn! It will be TAKE IT BACK TUESDAY!!!!
If you want to do something, make note of the businesses these people work for and stop going there. Not every day, just twice a week. That will give them the message and not put them out of business.
I seem to remember that the Hyannis Gasbag's inherited fortune is due in large part to the Kennedy family's ownership or The Merchandise Mart in Chicago. Anyone know this for sure?
(Rhetorically speaking of course)
You remember correctly and it's for 'sure'. However the 'family' sold the MM some years back.
Thanks. I'll bet once the check cleared for the sale of the MM, it was immediately deposited in an offshore account, to it wouldn't be liable to the confiscatory taxes levied by the Hyannis Gasbag and his band of thieves.
In reference to your tagline, there I know a family friend who spent over a decade in the Persian Gulf (one year in Saudi Arabia and ten years in the UAE). This family friend said that one year in Saudi Arabia was more than enough, but he did enjoy his time in the UAE.
Actually, you have it backward.
It is the communists who have not only started the ruckus in the first place, but are continuing to organize and fund the protestors.
The commies (Socialst Worker's Party) built this protest from the ground up.
Exactly right! Thanks for your post. (See my post reply just above.)
The extremely uneducated and superstitious underclasses of Mexico and Latin America do not need to be co-opted by communists after they come to the US. Marxism is being promulgated as the answer to all problems in those countries and has been for a few decades now. There is no need to propagandize those people into communism they are raised on it.
Chicago Trib ran a commentary by two commies who run a "Latin American" studies program at some university. Funny thing they did not have hispanic surnames, but they were doctrnaire commies spouting their May Day secular holiday crap.
The problem is Marxism has failed to bring the people of Cuba or anyplace else out of poverty. China only started to prosper when it junked Maoist economics.
However, hundreds of millions of Chinese still live in poverty with few resources.
Marxism replaces "slavery" to corporations with slavery to the state. Everyone is equal there: equally miserable.
