May Day 2006 Statement

The Irish Republican Socialist Committees of North America issue
solidarity greetings to our comrades and fellow workers around the
world on the working class holiday of May Day, also known as
International Workers' Day. In your fight against oppression,
exploitation, and imperialism, and even your daily struggle to survive
in an increasingly impoverished world, we salute you.

As the North American section of the Irish Republican Socialist
Movement, we extend our greetings to our comrades and fellow
members of the IRSM in the Irish Republican Socialist Party, Irish
National Liberation Army, Republican Socialist Youth Movement,
Republican Socialist Martyrs Flute Bands, Teach Na Failte, and the
James Connolly Society. We reiterate that we remain committed to the
movement and its struggle for national and class liberation.

On behalf of the Irish Republican Socialist Movement, we also extend
solidarity greetings to our comrades and fellow workers around the
world, in particular the following organizations and individuals:
All-African People's Revolutionary Party, All Pakistan Trade Union
Federation, Chicago Hunger Strike Commemoration Committee, Communist
League, Communist Party of Cuba, Communist Party of Nepal, Communist
Party of the Philippines, Communist Party of Spain (Reconstituted),
Concerned Group for Republican Prisoners, Debs Tendency of the
Socialist Party USA, Free People's Movement, Freedom Socialist Party,
Irish Freedom Committee, Irish prisoner of war Aiden Hulme and all
other Irish prisoners of war resisting criminalization, Na Claiomhte
Solais, Northeastern Federation of Anarchist Communists,
Organisation of Iranian People's Fedaii Guerillas, our communist
comrades in Italy, Peace and Freedom Party, Popular Front for the
Liberation of Palestine, Radical Women, Rising Youth, Scottish
Republican Socialist Movement, Seattle Anti-Imperialist Committee,
Worker-Communist Parties of Iran and Iraq, Working Women Organization,
and all who are struggling to liberate the working class from the
shackles of capitalism and imperialism.

Since last May Day we have seen workers' movements grow in
determination and militancy. New York, Dublin, London, and most
especially France have seen major actions of workers resisting
privatization and attacks on living standards. In Dublin, working
class anger manifested itself in the streets in response to the
reactionary Love Ulster march by supporters of British imperialism. In
the United States a mass movement of immigrant laborers have asserted
themselves against the criminal regime which threatens them and treats
them as non-human while viciously exploiting their labor power. The
unity of the working class has not been this high in many years and
appears to be growing in relation to the increasing decadence and
incompetence of the ruling class.

The Irish Republican Socialist Movement always attempts to point the
way forward for our class. In Ireland we believe conditions are
growing for a republican socialist alternative to fill the void in
revolutionary politics. It is likely that the implementation of the
Good Friday Agreement will not take place. This aside, neither the GFA
nor any other imperialist-brokered settlement will resolve the
fundamental contradiction at the heart of Irish society. Only a
socialist Ireland with full self-determination can begin to do that.

As our great teacher and martyr James Connolly said, "The great only
appear great because we are on our knees, let us arise!"
