From Black Rose Anarchist Federation

May 1st is International Workers Day, a historic day of struggle born of the blood of revolutionary anarchist martyrs of the Haymarket Affair, who gave their lives as part of a mass movement in the US against the rapacious exploitation wrought by the capitalist system and the violence of the state that preserves and protects it.

These revolutionary martyrs envisioned a world free not only from capitalism and the state, but free from all forms of domination. Their memory inspires each successive generation all over the globe to commit to revolutionary social transformation. Once more we return to their memory in an effort to steel ourselves for the immediate struggles in which we are involved and through which we are constructing the popular power necessary to achieve our broader aim: social revolution.
