May Day is the holiday of the peoples advancing on the path of revolution. It is a day of resistance where the working class challenges the bourgeoisie that oppresses, ignores, steals its future, and condemns it to darkness, demonstrating its power!" April 9, 2026 We are facing May Day 2026 in our region and in the world under conditions where unemployment, poverty, and the decline in purchasing power, deepened by imperialist wars, and the parallel policies of oppression and persecution are trying to subdue the masses. The working class and oppressed laborers, the peoples of the world, have spent the past year in conflict, death, forced migration, hostility towards refugees and immigrants; the usurpation of acquired rights and comprehensive attacks against the pursuit of rights. From May Day 2025 to today, the working class and laborers around the world; It has clung to life within a comprehensive siege and squeeze that the imperialist capitalist system has put into effect in almost every area, including ideological, political, and economic spheres. In many parts of the world, various obstacles are placed in the way of class organization, working hours are extended, and a flexible, precarious, and, most importantly, unorganized work regime is being implemented. The insatiable greed for profit, inherent in the character of imperialist capitalism, has unleashed its wild horse throughout 2025, leading the world towards destruction with a horrific plunder and looting. Capitalism, believing itself to be strolling in a rose garden without thorns on the ideological level, is shifting into high gear to overcome the crisis it is struggling with, which has now transformed into an open imperialist war in many regions. Imperialist capitalism is advancing towards a third war of partition, the cornerstones of which are being laid one by one, in order to re-divide the globe. The Ukraine-Russia war, now in its fourth year and claiming millions of lives, the occupation, annexation, and genocidal attacks launched by Zionist Israel in Gaza and now in Lebanon, with the backing of the US, EU, UK, and NATO; and the military aggression launched by the US/Israel against Iran on February 28th, now over a month old, reveal the true character of the system in all its nakedness. In our region, too, the bourgeoisie does not hesitate to implement policies that will bring even greater destruction in the name of greater profit and hegemony. In Turkey, the AKP-MHP government has further escalated its aggression against the working class, the broad masses of laborers, women and LGBT+ individuals, youth, the Kurdish nation, and our people of Alevi faith throughout 2025. It has banned and attacked resistance movements that the class is trying to organize for a humane world and a secure life, detained workers, and arrested resistance worker representatives/unionists. By targeting women and LGBTQ+ individuals, it has deepened homophobia and transphobia. We are heading towards May 1st, 2026, in conditions of profound misery, where millions of workers and laborers struggle to survive on meager wages. We are in the midst of a process where anger flows through the capillaries of the oppressed. On one side, imperialist wars, and on the other, the Turkish bourgeoisie trying to strengthen the "internal front" to turn this into an opportunity. May 1st, 2026, will host a process where we will combine the accumulated change and aspirations of all segments of society with the anger they feel towards the system. The class struggle for people's power and socialism against the exploitative fascist-capitalist system continues to exist in the streets. The mass participation reflected in the squares on March 8th, the reactions reflected in the streets on the anniversary of March 19th, and of course the hundreds of thousands who filled the Newroz squares on March 21st, all demonstrate the growing resistance in the consciousness of the masses. Our perspective on the May Day 2026 process should be to stand against exploitative policies on the one hand, and on the other hand, to organize the unity and struggle of the peoples against imperialist wars, in the context of the NATO summit that the imperialist war organization wants to hold in Ankara on July 7-8. It is of great importance to come together with all revolutionary-democratic forces that can unite on May Day and to organize a strong May Day will. A strong collective organization, accompanied by a planned and targeted agitation/propaganda effort around the fundamental agendas of the working class, will serve to develop and advance existing forces. The May Day process should host a period in which we increase our contact with the masses seeking change, carry our call for organization, and expand the organization of the class. Organizing the work with the broadest possible forces is also extremely important. The goal of organizing a united, mass, and strong May Day will also advance the existing energy of the class. The energy unleashed here will fuel anti-imperialist resistance against imperialist wars and the NATO war organization. May 1st will be a day when we unmask the Turkish bourgeoisie, which wages war against the working class and laborers under the guise of neutrality and the false rhetoric of "peace in the world," and show the true power of the class. May 1st, the revolution
