Build the party of May Day – build the Communist Party
Developing the party’s critical mass, strength and influence is the key to making gains for the working class, writes JOHNNIE HUNTER

INTERNATIONAL Workers’ Day — May Day — is a celebration truly shared by the working and oppressed people of the whole world. 

It is a day to reflect on the achievements of our movement here in Britain and around the world. It is a day to remember and pay tribute to all of those comrades who have given their all in the struggle for a new and better world.

It is also a day to remember the fundamental goals of our movement and the task that history has laid before us. It can happen that in fighting the thousands of fights our movement faces day and daily, in fighting for the needs of the hour, we can lose sight of our final goal.
