El 1ero de Mayo del 2015 los trabajadores de todo el mundo celebran el día internacional del trabajador y la lucha por un mejor mundo. En la mayoría de los países, el pueblo trabajador y oprimido marcha por las calles enarbolando banderas rojas. Líderes de la clase trabajadora dan importantes discursos sobre la historia y sobre la continua lucha en contra de este injusto sistema que solo beneficia al 1%. El 1ero de Mayo es una oportunidad para celebrar a la clase trabajadora y el brillante futuro para los que continuamos defendiendo y luchando contra los patrones y las compañías que nos explotan. El 1ero de Mayo es también un día para apoyar a las naciones y los pueblos oprimidos del mundo, quienes resisten la guerra y ocupación de los EE.UU y su maquinaria guerrerista. La Organización Socialista Camino de la Libertad ( www.frso.org) le insiste al pueblo a que salga a las calles a marchar este 1ero de Mayo y presentar foros de discusión sobre la necesidad de acabar con el gobierno del 1 % y establecer el socialismo; un sistema donde el poder político y económico este en las manos de los trabajadores.
