The other possibility, the only means of avoiding that fate, is a workers' revolution to abolish capitalism and eliminate the causes of war. We can do it and we start by building the labour movement and taking a stand against militarism today. Instead of idolising the Anzacs, we should mourn them, and instead of glorifying the military, we should oppose its very existence.

[Italiano] Mayday 2008: A Fine Day for the Working Class 19:03 Mon 05 May 0 comments For those of us involved in the fight for workers' power, the 1st of May gave us much to be cheerful about.
