May Day 1917 - J . V . Stalin

It is nearly three years since the bourgeois vampires of the belligerent countries plunged the world into a bloody shambles .
For nearly three years now the workers of all countries , who were yesterday kin brothers and are now clad in soldier ’ s uniform , have stood confronting one another as enemies , and are crippling and murdering one another to the joy of the enemies of the proletariat .
Wholesale slaughter of the man power of the nations , wholesale ruin and want , destruction of once flourishing towns and villages , wholesale starvation and lapse into savagery , all in order that a handful of crowned and uncrowned robbers may pillage foreign lands and rake in untold millions — this is where the war is tending . The world has begun to stifle in the grip of war . . . . The peoples of Europe can bear it no longer , and are already rising up against the bellicose bourgeoisie .
The Russian revolution is the first to be forcing a breach in the wall that divides the workers from one another . The Russian workers , at this time of universal “ patriotic ” frenzy , are the first to proclaim the forgotten slogan : “ Workers of all countries , unite !”
Amidst the thunder of the Russian revolution , the workers of the West too are rising from their slumber . The strikes and demonstrations in Germany , the demonstrations in Austria and Bulgaria , the strikes and meetings in neutral countries , the growing unrest in Britain and France , the mass fraternization on the battle fronts — these are the first harbingers of the socialist revolution that is brewing .
And this holiday we are celebrating today , this May Day , is it not a sign that in the welter of blood new ties of fraternity among the peoples are being forged ?
The soil is burning underneath the feet of the capitalist robbers , for the Red Flag of the International is again waving over Europe .
Let , then , this First of May , when hundreds of thousands of Petrograd workers extend the hand of fraternity to the workers of the world , be an earnest of the birth of a new revolutionary International !
Let the slogan which resounds today in the squares of Petrograd — " Workers of all countries , unite !" — reverberate through the world and unite the workers of all countries in the fight for socialism !
Over the heads of the capitalist robbers , over the heads of their predatory governments , we extend a hand to the workers of all countries , and cry : Hail the First of May ! Hail the Brotherhood of Nations ! Hail the Socialist Revolution !
In the face of the crisis , social revolution ! In the face of the war of the imperialist powers , revolutionary struggle to put an end to the rule of capital ! This is the alternative that the working class and the peoples have to win social emancipation .
The International Conference of Marxist-Leninist Parties and Organisations ( CIPOML ) calls on the workers of the whole world , this May Day , together with the particular demands and demands that the reality of each country determines , to raise those banners that unite the international proletariat in struggle . Only the triumph of revolution and socialism will engender a new world , a society of equality , welfare and progress , the society of the workers !
