May Day Greetings, 2009.

Dear Comrades,

Socialist Solidarity Greetings on May Day from the Partido Lakas ng Masa, Philippines.

We greet this May Day with the working class movement around the world facing the challenges of a capitalist system in deep crisis. The contradictions of the system emerge as wide-open cracks visible to the masses in their day-to-day struggle for survival. And working people and the poor are heroically struggling in their millions worldwide, against capitalism’s ‘solutions’ and for system change -- from the movements for democracy in Thailand and Pakistan, to the workers strike movement in France, to the movements for ‘Socialism of the 21st Century’ in Latin America.
