In preparation for tomorrow's historic online #MayDay rally, take a moment to listen to some of the powerful remarks given at past ICFI May Day events, beginning with the opening report from @DavidNorthWSWS for the first online May Day rally in 2014.

. @DavidNorthWSWS on #MayDay 2015: "The only effective antidote to the war between nations is the unfettered development, on the basis of socialist internationalism, of the conscious struggle of the working class for the overthrow of the capitalist system."

Wije Dias on #MayDay 2016: "Imperialist oppression, chronic poverty, caste and communal discrimination—none of the burning problems facing the masses—can be resolved other than through a working-class led socialist revolution."

Julie Hyland on #MayDay 2017: "The ICFI stands in solidarity with the millions of refugees and migrants across the world. We defend the right of all workers to live and work where they choose, with full citizenship rights."

. @DavidNorthWSWS on #MayDay 2018: "On this historic May Day, the 200th anniversary of the birth of Karl Marx, the International Committee of the Fourth International proudly proclaims that Trotskyism is the Marxism of the 21st century!"

. @Van3er on #MayDay 2019: "The chasm between the ruling class and the population has become unbridgeable. That is why the ruling class is heading once again towards authoritarian and even fascistic methods."

. @jkishore on #MayDay 2020: "The essential conclusion that comes from all of these speeches is for all of you listening today to make the decision to join and build the International Committee of the Fourth International and the Socialist Equality Party."

(Feel free to add other speeches to this thread.)

Saturday's #MayDay rally will be centered around the call for the building of an International Workers Alliance of Rank-and-File Committees. Register to attend today! http://wsws.org/live
