[Nateddi]

Beginning May 1st, workers all over the world celebrate this month of the international proletariat. On this holiday, we honor the working class - the exploited class responsible for the creation of all wealth - and express our international solidarity with the socialist revolutionary movements of the world that fight for the workers and against imperialism, capitalism, and the reactionary classes. We must reaffirm our undying goal, world socialism, and remember those great teachers, martyrs, and workers who struggled before us.

In solidarity, I greet you a happy May Day!

I hope you all had a better mayday than me.

[Kez]

Probably not, most of us are on computers on che-lives instead of protesting

[Sasafrás]

I've never known that this is what MayDay is all about..

Thanks a great deal for posting all those pictures, Red!

That little girl in the "Votez non" picture is so cute! So is Elian but he looks a bit chubby...

[Nateddi]

Yes, Fidel Castro must be starving the masses again.

Yes, Fidel Castro must be starving the masses again.:) I was hoping someone would say that. Elián was much thinner and sickly-looking when he was living with his family in Miami.

[RedCeltic]

Oh yea... I didn't notice that... I wonder how his experience in visiting Cuba's capitalist neighbor will shape the boy's future.

[guerrillaradio]

Mayday sucked in London. 7-10,000 protesters?? Jesus...next year I'll be there hopefully...
