2012 May Day pictures and videos

[Red Commissar]

I know there's the occupy related thread over in the subforum, but some room for other events should be made too. Most of what I'm seeing outside the Occupy one is more traditional as far as demonstrations go. The ones in Europe, unsurprisingly, are against austerity.

Of course many from large unions and others tied closely to the government in some places. Russia's marches were more or less directed by United Russia. I'll try to throw up more as they come available, feel free to post what you've seen, in person or otherwise. If this thread is redundant then feel free to close it admin or moderator.

[B.K.]

Well, let's begin...

A surprisingly big march in Moldova:

Russia's marches were more or less directed by United RussiaIt's partially true, as our biggest federation of unions (FNPR) is totally controlled by Putin's government. This time they managed to take more than 150,000 people to the streets of Moscow:

But there are also truly independent unions and leftist groups:

Thanks RC. I actually remembered your thread about May Day from last year, was hoping you'd do it again.

KKE desided not to do its demo in Athens, but in Elefsina, in front of the factory of Elliniki Halivourgia, that is on strike for over 180 days. The correspondence was A MA ZING!

For those Dutch speaking among us: I thought this was a pretty good speech against the social institution of Work that demolishes our body and spirit.

Reuters interviewed me but then instead put a clip online about how May Day in NYC was "a dud" citing some random professor of course. The most frustrating part is that the interview took place at a restaurant (that exploits immigrant labor and is known for racial discrimination) that was the site of one of the "99 pickets" with at least 150-200 people picketing.

Anyway, Democracy Now had a pretty good segment on May Day around the globe: http://www.democracynow.org/2012/5/2/may_day_protests_span_the_globe

A compilation of May Day marches in Moscow and St.Petersburg, made by me, with special emphasis on anarchists (other non-parliamentary leftist groups and independent trade unions are also present, but to a lesser extent. No KPRF and similar groups. FNPR's march is briefly mentioned, as they're largest trade union federation in Russia - not "independent" at all, though):

I mean it in a very ironically funny way, as I am a McDonald's worker. It's the same thing I said in Oakland as someone smashed a McDonald's there too.

thousands of copies the following letter where spread tha last few days in the neighboorhood of amsterdam where the demo was held:


Dear neighbours,
On Tuesday an anarchist 1st May demonstration took place. Starting at Mercatorplein, it was stopped by cops after only 200m. We were part of this demonstration and we would like with this leaflet to explain some things which will never be communicated by the mainstream media, and which we feel are important. What happened during the demonstration might have been shocking, but it is nonetheless logical.
For us it was not the first time a demonstration was violently stopped by cops for ridiculous reasons. It was not the first time we have seen our friends getting dragged out of the crowd by some pumped-up undercover cops, thrown on the floor, handcuffed and pushed into an arrest-van. It was not the first time that standing in the first row we got beaten with some baton by riot cops kitted-out in protective riot gear, and that afterwards at the police station the arrested got beaten even more.
By falsely labelling it as a demonstration of squatters, we were automatically stigmatized. This demonstration had nothing to do with squatting. Not that we are against it, but in this case we were really busy doing something else. We stood there on the street against the exploitative capitalist system, against landlords and politicians, against big businesses and the EU. We are being told that we live in a time of political and economical crises. They expect us to carry the whole weight of it, and to not complain. But what do we have to do with the 'crisis'? While the 'social securities' are vanishing, the banks, cops and politicians have more power than ever. While we are being kept as prisoners more and more in our own world, with the constantly growing tools of social control, with ever-present cameras, passports and consumerism as handcuffs, the ones in power go freely with a big fat bonus.
The crisis only exists as an excuse to keep us scared and tamed, so we keep our faith in those in power. So we stay 'satisfied' in a world where everything is for sale, from our safety to our social life on a smart phone. But we want to fill in our lives ourselves and together, without being ruled from above by some fucked up company, by landlords, by borders that decide who is allowed to live where, by politicians, technological gadgets, or religion.
And because this is their biggest fear – a group of people who refuse to be controlled and ordered, who refuse to be led by laws and bosses from the top, that collectively breaks with the normality of daily life – they decided to beat us and try to prevent people coming together on the streets. Even though we were a small group, we were confronted with such repression because they fear that larger parts of society will be inflamed.
With this demonstration we chose to leave the center of Amsterdam – the tourist and shopping districts – and we clearly felt that the neighborhood was expressing solidarity with us. People complaining about the pumped-up undercovers, about the Netherlands turning into a repressive police state. For sure the media will obediently regurgitate a web of excuses for why the cops treat people like this. But there is no need for excuses – the logic of their actions is clear. We want things that the state, mayor and cops don't agree with; they are paid to protect a system which we refuse to be part of – we are their enemy and they are ours.
From the outset we decided not to negotiate. We disagree with the fact that you must negotiate with the municipality or local police to go out on the streets. Once you begin down this road you are forced to run a demonstration that is far removed from what your intentions were. We will always refuse to go into dialogue with the government. We hold this honour to ourselves.
We want to live in a free world in which you are not judged on productivity and how much you adapt to this system. a world in which people are not obstructed by borders, authorities and capital. A world in which we are not numbers, and in which the circus of school, work and consuming until death does no longer exist. A world of solidarity, in which people are more important than profit and power.
Let it be clear that no truncheon, no fist from a civilian cop, or prohibitions from a mayor can tame our anger and keep us off the streets. Not on the 1st of May, nor on any other day. Fuck the pigs, fuck authority – don't let yourself be scared off...organize and rebel!
Kind regards,
some anarchist participants

here's an excellent mashup video of May Day in portland- house move back in action at the beginning and then what was the radical bloc at the main permitted march- some of the dumpster fire- the undocumented worker action, etc..

*worst dance party music EVER. The police move in at 8:25 to break up the dance party- liberal shenanigans ensues.
