Antikapitalistischer Block am 1. Mai

Action/Protest/Camp

Workers in Resistance – Class Struggle in Every Country!

Militarization, fascism, and war are on the rise. The crisis of capitalism is dragging the entire world into catastrophe. We need to build a revolutionary movement more urgently than ever. Let’s show our collective strength on May 1!

Anti-Capitalist Block, May 1, 10:00 a.m., Messeplatz, Basel

Competition between imperialist powers is intensifying, manifesting in massacres, wars, and multi-billion-dollar military budgets. Billions financed on our backs through austerity measures. Because capitalism cannot offer a future and social contradictions are sharpening, those in power are increasingly relying on repression and incitement: Against unwelcome protests, against migrants and the precarious, against queers and women.

But all of this does not go unanswered. It is precisely the younger generation that is standing up against genocide and war. That is standing up against the lack of economic prospects, militarization, and racist incitement. It is workers who are standing up to the arrogance of the rich. It is liberation movements in the Global South that are fighting against genocide and the plundering of resources.

The resistance against the world of the rich needs a vision if it is to achieve anything. And that is exactly what May 1st stands for. It is the day when the revolutionary movement takes to the streets worldwide. It is the day when we show that the various struggles are interconnected and that we must put an end to this economic system. A future beyond imperialist wars, extreme inequality, and fascism is possible!

For the social revolution—let’s organize!
