MEXICO, May 1—This year, the Progressive Labor Party (PLP) collectives in Mexico met to commemorate a virtual May Day because of the Covid-19 pandemic. We met with comrades and friends from Mexico City, Oaxaca, and two collectives from the State of Mexico, as well as friends from Argentina and Colombia. We were able to analyze the health crisis and the impact it has had on workers worldwide. What is prevailing is the inequality generated by capitalism and its profit system.
The situation worldwide is similar because it is governed by a system that does not care about people's lives. We flew the flag of communism and the need to create and continue working in an international party. Since, under this system, the life of any worker, no matter their job, is not guaranteed.
We made an urgent appeal to not miss the opportunity to join the fight against this capitalist caused pandemic. Working from our respective trenches, we can build a communist party. We also called on women, men, and youth to fight shoulder to shoulder from anywhere in the world to achieve a revolutionary communist army, where life will be the priority.
