Dispatches

The American working class enters this May Day battered but unbroken. Facing an unprecedented crisis of capitalism — one of spiraling debt, global war, and the formation of a fascistic surveillance state with global designs — many comrades fall into despair and resignation, assuming that the task of uniting such a divided and seemingly docile people remains a pipe dream. But despair is typical of those lacking the resolve acquired by the world-historical outlook of a Communist Party, forged over the course of its participation in the actually-existing class struggle. The American Communist Party knows that the imperialist regime, which has fleeced the American people and the world’s people with impunity since the collapse of the Soviet Union, lives only on borrowed time. History shows there are no invincible armies, and that a regime which must marshal nihilism and outright barbarism to sustain itself can only limp on for so long before it is overthrown. The American Communist Party additionally recalls that May Day itself, a commemoration of the martyrdom of Chicago workers in Haymarket Square 136 years ago, is proof enough that the sacrifices made in the course of struggle are not and could not be made in vain so long as there are willing fighters in the present. The growing cadre of the American Communist Party, along with the increasingly volcanic feelings of the American masses and the exhaustion of all other “Democratic Socialist” and Zionist-lite alternatives, is irrefutable proof that those fighters exist and, inevitably, are bound to triumph. This May Day, the American Communist Party names the enemy plainly: it declares unconditional war on the ruling Epsteinite-capitalist class and the parties which serve it. It does not recognize the fault solely of this or that inhuman policy, not this or that corrupt official — but the inhuman corruption at the heart of the capitalist system itself, a system defined by inhuman predation and exploitation. The question is not whether the working class will resist — they already do, in ways unintelligible to the mainline “leftist” alternatives — but whether the left will be organized enough to rise to the level of the working class. Only then can there be a merger of Marxism with the workers’ movement. The American Communist Party, in its mobilizations in support of the working class across the country and its resolve to stand unconditionally with the American masses, have surely thrown down the gauntlet before the arrogant and wicked ruling capitalist exploiters. The victory of the American people and the destruction of the enemy are equally inevitable. The future belongs to the working class.
