WORLD WORLDWIDE SOUT AMERICA ARGENTINA - news journal UPDATE - (en) Argentina, Cordoba, OAC: Organization and struggle of those from below to confront the political and corporate establishment (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 The massive strike of May 1, 1886, and the events that followed, not

only propelled the movement for the 8-hour workday internationally, but,
through the death sentence of eight activists, revealed with shocking
clarity the complicity between the state and the corporate class that
operates against any expression of resistance from the oppressed class.
---- The example of the Chicago martyrs: George Engel, August Spies,
Albert Parsons, Adolph Fischer, Samuel Fielden, Louis Lingg, Michael
Schwab, and Oscar Neebe, sparked a wave of international solidarity. In
the years that followed, May 1 became an emblem of the working class
around the world. This direct confrontation with the employers and the
government by the workers led to the death sentences of eight workers:
George Engel, August Spies, Albert Parsons, Adolph Fischer, Samuel
Fielden, Louis Lingg, Michael Schwab, and Oscar Neebe, the Chicago
Martyrs. The example of these comrades who gave their lives for the
workers' struggle sparked large demonstrations, rallies, and strikes in
solidarity internationally, and the cause was taken up by workers around
the world.

This May 1st, International Workers' Day, finds us in a context of
brutal attacks on our living conditions. Javier Milei's government
exacerbates the most nefarious characteristics of a cruel and ruthless
capitalism. Millions of new poor people, wages that fall short of basic
needs, pensions that fall below the poverty line, repression against
social protest, and the withdrawal of labor rights. Today, as yesterday,
we reclaim the glorious feat of the Chicago workers in 1886, because it
teaches us that rights and social achievements are not begged for or
given, but rather won through organization and struggle in the streets.
Because it has been the tenacity of the struggles of the oppressed
classes, organized from below, that has been able to twist the arm of
history. In the face of individualism, competition, and social
fragmentation, class solidarity is a necessary condition for confronting
the advance of the ruling classes.

We cannot trust electoral and institutional logics that prove their
failure year after year. For 10 years, the economic, social, and
political crisis has deepened, and those at the bottom are increasingly
worse off, regardless of who governs.

We need to recover the tools of union, territorial, and student
organization, placing them in the hands of the organizations of those at
the bottom, based on class independence, without interference from the
state or employers. Let's get to work in all social spheres to build the
power of the people that will advance a definitive break with this
system of domination. We must fundamentally change this unjust and
bloodthirsty system, in which a few have everything and millions have
nothing.
We must build a society without oppressors or oppressed, for socialism
in freedom.

ORGANIZATION AND STRUGGLE OF THOSE FROM BELOW TO CONFRONT THE ATTACKS OF
THE POLITICAL AND BUSINESS LEGISLATORS.

LONG LIVE THE MARTYRS OF CHICAGO!
LONG LIVE MAY 1ST!
LONG LIVE THOSE WHO FIGHT!
