/labor/ - Labor

No idea, I wanted to order an anarchist flag for it but I thought of that too late it seems. It's not like I can just find a red and black flag at my local retailer after all. Maybe I'll just hang out with some folks down in DC

>>823
I guess you could just buy a red blanket and cut it up or something

>>823
What this anon said >>824 get a wooden pole some staples and red fabric.

For anyone in the DC area that might be interested. It's got CPUSA folks attending so it's gotta have at least some Red Cred (tm)

>>822
I hope im not too hang over tomorrow. My party is going to a monument dedicated to fallen communist revolutionaries and after that some music and food in the city park.

There is a mass strike of app taxi and delivery drivers tomorrow. Apparently 400 workers have already signed up in my city, expecting possibly more. Could be the start of something.

Today we should remember our fallen comrades that fought against slavery.

my dsa chapter got booted from a may day coalition for asking to please remove a zionist democrat from the speaking roster lol

Would anyone like to write a post for the magazine in relation to May Day? I didn't have anything planned

that fucking feel when

>>832
Indian communists celebrating with rest of the world.

>>830
Maybe your chapter shluld focus on socialism instead of zionism.

>>832
Umm this is wrong, in Australia it's called 'Labour Day' and I get a day off

>>836
>>836 (You)
Ok so the confusion arises because it isn't necessarily celebrated on the 1st of may but depends on the state some celebrating it during may others during march

>>832
Tbf we bongs are meant to have a Holiday on the 1st but the tories got fucky with it and shifted it to the Monday to try and disperse the growing May Day movement in the 1970s.

Happy May 1!

Nothing going on in Cardiff that I've heard of… not even the Trotskyites could be bothered to organize anything.

>>841

Happy international worker day to everyone!

>>846

TJA’s May Day message: Freedom is possible through women’s labor
The Free Women’s Movement (Tevgera Jinên Azad - TJA), in a statement titled “Democratic life will be built through women’s labor,” emphasized that this year they mark May Day with the slogan “Insistence on socialism is insistence on the liberation of women’s labor.”

The statement read: “At the intersection of capitalist modernity and patriarchy, women’s labor is not only exploited but also systematically erased. Women shoulder burdens not only in the paid workforce but also in domestic care, agricultural production, migration, war zones, and during moments of crisis.”

The statement also condemned the appointment of trustees, emphasizing that attacks on women’s labor and institutional achievements continue through these practices.

TJA stated: “Because women’s labor is directly linked to political will, it is being deliberately targeted and pushed out of social, cultural, and political life. As the TJA, we redefine the liberation of labor on the basis of women’s freedom. Women’s labor is not only part of economic production; it is also the force behind rebuilding and transforming society. For this reason, our struggle is the struggle to liberate all forms of labor produced by women, at home, in the streets, in the fields, in schools, in prisons, and along migration paths.”

TJA also issued a call to women’s movements around the world and stated:

“Let us come together to organize common grounds of struggle. As Kurdish women, we believe that the struggle for equality and justice carried out by women from Latin America to Africa, from Asia to Europe, is one and the same. In different languages and different geographies, we are fighting against male domination, imposed in various forms by the same system. Women’s identity and labor can only be defended through a borderless line of freedom. Our labor finds meaning not within the consumption machinery of the capitalist system, but within a democratic, ecological, and women’s liberation-centered life. Let us expand our international struggle to liberate women’s labor. Let us learn from each other’s experiences, make solidarity permanent, and strengthen our organization. Our labor is our organization. A free life is possible through women’s labor.”

Cheers anon, i'll get to that.
I really should have heard about this through Palestine Solidarity. These people are so disorganised, it's really distressing.

>>832
oh that's just
that's the axis of colonialist-nihilism

>>832
Labor Zionism has fallen. Billions of Palestinians must die

>>832
If this was accurate all countries would be in red as no private sector recognizes workers day

>>853
One of the ironies is that the reason May Day wasn't a holiday in Israel was that the zionist labor movement was so strong people went on strike regardless so they didn't "need" to make it a national holiday. In israel you get double pay for working on a national holiday too so they thought making it one would encourage people to work instead of celebrating it.
Tangential but there is also something very macabre about all of the Zionist May Day posters celebrating "Arab-Jewish Unity" just after having ethnically cleansed them…

>I really should have heard about this through Palestine Solidarity. These people are so disorganised, it's really distressing.
Trades Councils (which organise May Day events) are geriatric even places where they are vibrant, let alone outside of the metropoles. They can't use social media for shit and are very bad at publicising their own events to their own audience (trade unionists) let alone outside of it. Good tip for local anons is to look up "X District Trades Council" (if you live in a small town it will be your local government district) and they will likely have something on their facebook.

>>857
Shay is alive?

>>848
>>851
Went for ps solidarity group, It was pretty small, maybe only ~100 people. sad.

>>859
As I said anon >>856 (me) unfortunately trades councils are shit at what they are meant to do nowadays. If you have the wherewithal to sit through a dull meeting once a month and pick up the huge amount of missing load I'd suggest trying to get involved to bring things together. They usually won't offer resistance because they want someone young to do these things. Still it will mean you are own your own though.
