Upon the election of Barack Obama, the bosses’ mass media has flooded us with the idea that his victory will somehow alleviate 400 years of racism in the U.S. But ever since the anti-racist rebellions of the 1960s and early ’70s, the bosses have learned how to use black politicians like Obama to push the same myth of “the end of racism.” Yet, since then mass racist unemployment, police terror, imperialist wars, wage-cuts and plant closings have continued, and they won’t stop with Obama. |

Good evening to all. Thanks for joining us at this dinner to celebrate May Day, the International Workers’ Day. Tonight, I’ll talk a little about the international situation, which means talking about what’s happening in the two great armies that are locked in a fight to the death—the army of the bosses and the army of the working class. The bosses are fighting to maintain their system of exploitation and murder—where every year more than 100 million of our class, 32 million of them children, die of hunger or diseases that could be prevented or cured for less than $1 per person. |

Good afternoon. I would like to welcome everybody to May Day 2008. I don’t know if everyone realizes this, but May Day is a very special day. It is the day that the Progressive Labor Party celebrates the history of workers fighting back around the world against the bosses. I was asked to speak today about the state of the world. Now whenever someone asks me if I want the good news or the bad news first, I always say the bad news so that we can get it out of the way. So here it goes. |

Au mois de mai, il y a quarante ans, une révolte spontanée de millions de travailleurs et d’étudiants en France a engendré une grève générale qui a paralysé le pays pendant trois mois, provoquant la chute du gouvernement. Elle a électrisé le monde entier. L’anniversaire de cette lutte mérite notre attention car nous pouvons encore apprendre beaucoup de « mai 68 ». |

Progressive Labor Party (PLP) fights to smash capitalism -- wage slavery. While the bosses and their mouthpieces claim "communism is dead:" capitalism is the real failure for billions all over the world. Capitalism returned to the Soviet Union and China because socialism failed to wipe out many aspects of the profit system, like wages and division of labor.
