Editorial
THIS issue is dedicated to the spirit and ideals of
May Day, the day when we come together as workers and poor people to
reaffirm our struggle for dignity, freedom and basic rights. The day
that began as a commemoration of Anarcho-syndicalist workers executed
by the bosses over 100 years ago. We live in a society fundamentally
divided by class- divided between rich and poor, exploiter and
exploited, oppressor and oppressed.
This society, organised around capitalism, the State, and
oppression, is the cause of the hunger, misery and oppression of the
working and poor people.
But we have the power in hands to resist the bosses and rulers.
Through our mass action, we can fight back! Through our mass
organisations - the unions and working class civics- we have the
power to build a new, better world. A world without hunger, racism
and masters- a world where we have a real say over our own lives, and
in which all have their basic needs met- a stateless socialist
society based on grassroots democracy (anarcho-syndicalism). Not the
farce of so-called "Communist" Russia!
As the great anarcho-syndicalist revolutionary Nestor Makhno put
it:We will not conquer in order to repeat the errors of past years,
the error of putting our fate into the hands of new masters; we will
conquer in order to take our destinies into our own hands , to
conduct our lives in accordance with our own will and our own
conception of the truth.
This is our programme as the Anarcho-syndicalists of the WSF. Join
us!
